Research direction
Start by reproducing the ambiguity error with the shown program_options catch and trace the get_canonical_name function mentioned in the report. Confirm whether the canonical name becomes a NULL string, then verify that the completed behavior includes '-parent' and both matching option names in the error message. The payload names no source file or test path.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The error is "option is ambiguous and matches 'parent_run' and 'parent_hierarchy' " instead it should be "option '-parent' is ambiguous and matches '-parent_run' and '-parent_hierarchy' " Here since -parent is canonical name and it set to NULL string , it is giving the first error message. I have checked the canonical name using get_canonical_name function.
Below is the code snippet.
catch(boost::program_options::error& e){
std::cout<<e.what();
