Just started trying bashdb and noticed in the manpage that invocation with "bash --debugger" has option conflict problems. If it was important to eliminate those, there could be a special switch to indicate end of options similar to "--", meaning to pass the rest of the arguments to a program. Maybe something unusual like "-:" (dash-colon)? Would just be ignored in "bash".
No big deal, just an idea if one _wanted_ to provide full switch support. One switch I wouldn't mind seeing in bash though -- "bash -d" as a shorthand for the debugger. Yes, there are other --d<based-switches>, but I've seen "-d" used in other interpreters (&*cough*_perl%$*) to invoke a debugging feature. Just some user-convenience ideas...(I'd likely use the "-d" more than the "-:". -linda _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
