Why messy? On the contrary, I would suggest that it is too simple and we should have a more flexible syntax so we can auto-generate more code. RejectNegative is not intuitive? I really would like to hear your suggestion. Honestly, not sarcasm here. If you can improve the documentation, that is always welcome! Any small improvement! Even if you can't handle texinfo, documentation in the wiki is also welcome. > Maybe this syntax should be improved, at least with better > documentation, or maybe changing the syntax of common.opt (adding the > same options with an intuitive form). I think it could be interesting > to make a little patch about it. Opinions? Better documentation is always welcome. But if you can implement a new and better syntax, that would be welcomed too. Please, explain what that intuitive form could be. Also, you would need to be versed in awk, since the scripts that parse the *.opt files and generate C code for options are written in awk. Or alternatively, you would need to replace them with something else. But that won't be a little patch anymore. Cheers, Manuel.
