Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: scons
Ubuntu 8.10
scons 0.98.5-1ubuntu1
It is possible to call SCons and pass an empty element as part of sys.argv
(python example):
cd /path/to/sources-using-scons/
python
>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.Popen(("scons", ""))
SCons' hand-written parser for the command line now assumes that all elements
of sys.argv are != "", resulting in:
IndexError: string index out of range:
File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 1248:
_exec_main(parser, values)
File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 1213:
_main(parser)
File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 859:
if a[0] == '-':
Tested with the Battle for Wesnoth trunk SVN sources (although the bug
should be reproducible with all sources using a SCons build system).
Note that you need some sources to reproduce the bug, otherwise, SCons
just complains about the lack of SConscript etc. and quits.
