*Change Request ID*: 6909579
*Synopsis*: libast getopt solaris compatibility broken
Product: solaris
Category: shell
Subcategory: korn93
Type: Defect
Subtype: Functionality
Status: 7-Fix in Progress
Substatus:
Priority: 2-High
Introduced In Release: solaris_nevada
Introduced In Build: snv_72
Responsible Engineer: <User 1-5Q-9201>
Keywords: oss-request, oss-sponsor
=== *Description* ============================================================
in the opensolaris of snv_128, getopts failed to deal with a short/long options
mix.
getopts "d:(directory)f:(file)(input-file)o:(output-file)" opt
and getopts "d:f:o:" opt worked fine, but
getopts "d:f:(file)(input-file)o:(output-file)" opt failed with "-f: unknown
option" when invoked with "-f tmpfile"

=== *Public Comments* ========================================================
libast/optget/init (in usr/src/lib/libast/common/misc/optget.c) function
wrongly converts solaris style getopts optstring
input: d:f:(file)o:(output-file)
output: [-][d]:[string][::file][o:output-file]:[string]
should be: [-][d]:[string][f:file][o:output-file]:[string]
I have preliminary fix, but have to test it throughly first.

I guess either my previous message didn't make it or wasn't clear enough
the problem has been replicated and a fix will be in the next beta due
today

I'm removing myself from responsible enginner position, as there is supposed to
be fix out there. I'm also returning the bug to Cause Known state.

=== *Workaround* =============================================================
Moving long options to the beginning of optstring might work with a bit of luck
This works
f:(file)o:(output-file)d:
This does not
d:f:(file)o:(output-file)
