I was working with a JTAG debugger this morning(not OpenOCD). It had a command with a seemingly optional argument.
prog [offset] [file] ... So offset is optional, right? Except the clever bit is that [offset] is parsed and stored in a global persistent variable inside the JTAG debugger, so if you do: prog 1234 file1 prog file2 The second one actually translates into "prog 1234 file2". Nice. The net effect is that I have to treat the argument as compulsory. If I don't specify it, I'd have to make assumptions upon prior history. OpenOCD is blessfully absent of commands that rely in cunning ways upon previous commands executed. I seem to recall that I deleted a few of those cases in the mists of time. If there are still such cases left, I know juuuuust what to do with them :-) -- Øyvind Harboe Can Zylin Consulting help on your project?
