I think it would be nice to allow an equal to separate a short option
letter from its abutting argument. e.g. these commands using the
test1
executable would all work the same:
./test1 -2 foo
./test1 -2=foo
./test1 -2foo
./test1 --arg2 foo
./test1 --arg2=foo
Since this has been a syntax error in released versions of popt, this
should not cause a compatibility problem. This fix requires my prior
patch to make sure that short-option parsing doesn't have longArg set.
I think the patch is a reasonable extension, but there's more to do:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] popt]$ make check
...
make check-TESTS
make[2]: Entering directory `/X/src/popt'
Running tests in /X/src/popt
Running test test1 - 1.
Running test test1 - 2.
Running test test1 - 3.
Running test test1 - 4.
Running test test1 - 5.
Running test test1 - 6.
Running test test1 - 7.
Running test test1 - 8.
Running test test1 - 9.
Test "test1 -2 foo" failed with: "arg1: 0 arg2: rest: foo" != "arg1:
0 arg2: foo"
Would you mind looking at the problem? Thanks ...
