this is a bug :-(. The ag++ option is called --real_instances, because 
all ag++ options that consist of more than one word use '_' as 
delimiter. ag++ should map this option to the internal ac++ option 
--real-instances. However, due to a misunderstanding of the developers 
--real_instances is passed unmodified to ac++, which causes an error.

As a workaround you can use ag++ to generate a parser configuration file:

ag++ --gen_config -o ac.cfg

Now add the line '--real-instances' to the configuration file.

Whenever you use ag++ additionally pass the '--config ac.cfg'.

Please note that the --real_instances/--real-instances option will 
probably become deprecated with the next AspectC++ release, because the 
'real-instances' parser mode will become the default and the old mode 
will no longer be maintained.

sorry for this problem.
