This is a rather ironic piece of AutoFu as well.
Clearly I can choose to create popt tables with (or
without) toggles and with (or without) the
other incompatibility POPT_ARG_ARGV.
In fact I do that all the time.
But how long do I have to wait before I can
use code that I wrote for the purpose(s) I
intended? I waited 1 year (and carried
along AutoFu-less retrofits with POPT_ARG_ARGV,
described the issue, planned the yank, and went
through the transition only to receive bug reports.
The AutoFu-less POPT_ARGFLAG_TOGGLE retrofit goes something
like this:
#if !defined(POPT_ARGFLAG_TOGGLE)
#define POPT_ARGFLAG_TOGGLE 0
#endif
which (all uses I do) causes the inverse operation
to drop away, leaving the enabler (or disabler)
which most are used to exactly as ever.
The deeper irony is that popt _USED_ to be "internal"
to RPM to avoid issues like this, and similarly BeeCrypt
and elfutils and neon and Berkeley DB and (now) sqlite.
I don't know what the right answer is. But there is _NO_ answer in
Have it your own way!
that I can detect.
