Hi, to substantiate my proposal of renaming young grub-mkrescue.c to grub-mkiso.c and to add a built-in emulation of grub-mkrescue(.in), here the necessary code which i tested standalone with valgrind.
The decision which parser to use would be made in main(): -------------------------------------------------------------- char *cpt; ... /* Get leaf name of argv[0] */ for (cpt = argv[0] + strlen (argv[0]) - 1; cpt >= argv[0]; cpt--) if (*cpt == '/') break; cpt++; if (strcmp (cpt, "grub-mkrescue") == 0) { arg_parser_mkrescue (argc, argv); } else { argp_parse (&argp, argc, argv, 0, 0, 0); } -------------------------------------------------------------- The help text is derived from grub-mkrescue.in of GRUB 2.00. -------------------------------------------------------------- static void printc (char *line) { printf ("%s\n", line); } static void print_mkrescue_help (char *prog_name) { printf ("%s %s %s\n", _("Usage:"), prog_name, _("[OPTION] SOURCE...")); printc (_("Make GRUB CD-ROM, disk, pendrive and floppy bootable image.")); printc (_("-h, --help")); printc (_(" print this message and exit")); printc (_("-v, --version")); printc (_(" print the version information and exit")); printc (_("-o, --output=FILE")); printc (_(" save output in FILE [required]")); printc (_("--rom-directory=DIR")); printc (_(" save ROM images in DIR [optional]")); printc (_("--xorriso=FILE")); printc (_(" use FILE as xorriso [optional]")); printc (_("Not supported any more are:")); printc (_(" --modules , --grub-mkimage , --override-directory")); printc (_("Other arguments get forwarded to xorriso -as mkisofs")); printc (_("emulation.")); printc (""); printf ("%s %s\n", prog_name, _("generates a bootable rescue image")); printc (_("with specified source files, source directories, or mkisofs")); printc (_("options listed by the output of `xorriso -as mkisofs -help'")); printc (""); printc (_("Note: Do not use option \"--\" unless you want to submit")); printc (_(" native xorriso commands instead of file paths or")); printc (_(" mkisofs options. See man xorrisofs and man xorriso.")); printc (""); printc (_("Report bugs to <bug-g...@gnu.org>.")); printc (_("Mail xorriso support requests to <bug-xorr...@gnu.org>.")); printc (""); printc (_("This is program grub-mkiso emulating the option")); printc (_("interpretation of legacy program grub-mkrescue.")); printc (_("grub-mkiso in its native mode has more advanced options.")); printc (_("But that mode demands to separate grub-mkiso options")); printc (_("and xorriso options by a double dash \"--\", which xorriso")); printc (_("will not get to see.")); } -------------------------------------------------------------- The parser function implements the promised options and collects the xorriso -as mkisofs options into the same char pointer array as does the existing parser in the C program. In particular it sets the values of these variables: static char *rom_directory; static int xorriso_tail_argc; static int xorriso_tail_arg_alloc; static char **xorriso_tail_argv; static char *output_image; static char *xorriso; -------------------------------------------------------------- static void arg_parser_mkrescue (int argc, char *argv[]) { int i; for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) { if (strcmp (argv[i], "-h") == 0 || strcmp (argv[i], "--help") == 0) { print_mkrescue_help (argv[0]); exit (0); } else if (strcmp (argv[i], "-v") == 0 || strcmp (argv[i], "--version") == 0) { printf ("%s %s %s\n", argv[0], PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION); exit (0); } else if (strcmp (argv[i], "--modules") == 0) { grub_util_error (_("Option --modules is not supported any more")); } else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--modules=", 10) == 0) { grub_util_error (_("Option --modules= is not supported any more")); } else if (strcmp (argv[i], "-o") == 0 || strcmp (argv[i], "--output") == 0) { if (i == argc - 1) grub_util_error (_("option requires an argument -- `%s'"), argv[i]); i++; free (output_image); output_image = xstrdup (argv[i]); } else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--output=", 9) == 0) { free (output_image); output_image = xstrdup (argv[i] + 9); } else if (strcmp (argv[i], "--rom-directory") == 0) { if (i == argc - 1) grub_util_error (_("option requires an argument -- `%s'"), argv[i]); i++; free (rom_directory); rom_directory = xstrdup (argv[i]); } else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--rom-directory=", 16) == 0) { free (rom_directory); rom_directory = xstrdup (argv[i] + 16); } else if (strcmp (argv[i], "--override-directory") == 0) { grub_util_error( _("Option --override-directory is not supported any more")); } else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--override-directory=", 21) == 0) { grub_util_error( _("Option --override-directory= is not supported any more")); } else if (strcmp (argv[i], "--xorriso") == 0) { if (i == argc - 1) grub_util_error (_("option requires an argument -- `%s'"), argv[i]); i++; free (xorriso); xorriso = xstrdup (argv[i]); } else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--xorriso=", 10) == 0) { free (xorriso); xorriso = xstrdup (argv[i] + 10); } else { if (xorriso_tail_arg_alloc <= xorriso_tail_argc) { xorriso_tail_arg_alloc = 2 * (4 + xorriso_tail_argc); xorriso_tail_argv = xrealloc (xorriso_tail_argv, sizeof (xorriso_tail_argv[0]) * xorriso_tail_arg_alloc); } xorriso_tail_argv[xorriso_tail_argc++] = xstrdup (argv[i]); } } } -------------------------------------------------------------- There remains the incompatibility that i could not find equivalents of the following grub-mkrescue.in features: --modules=MODULES pre-load specified modules MODULES --grub-mkimage=FILE use FILE as grub-mkimage --override-directory "Intentionally undocumented" -------------------------------------------------------------- The valgrind test was made with a mock-up of grub-mkiso.c consisting of some copied util/grub-*.c functions and a main() which prints the content of the variables after parsing. ln -s grub-mkiso grub-mkrescue valgrind ./grub-mkrescue -o output.iso -J --rom-directory=./ROMDIR -P YET_ANOTHER_OS.ORG --md5 --emul-toc ./my_os_payload --xorriso="$HOME"/xorriso-1.3.8/xorriso/xorriso yielded: output_image= 'output.iso' rom_directory= './ROMDIR' xorriso= '/home/thomas/xorriso-1.3.8/xorriso/xorriso' xorriso_tail_arg_alloc= 8 xorriso_tail_argc= 6 xorriso_tail_argv[ 0]= '-J' xorriso_tail_argv[ 1]= '-P' xorriso_tail_argv[ 2]= 'YET_ANOTHER_OS.ORG' xorriso_tail_argv[ 3]= '--md5' xorriso_tail_argv[ 4]= '--emul-toc' xorriso_tail_argv[ 5]= './my_os_payload' ==9810== ==9810== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 2 from 1) ... ==9810== LEAK SUMMARY: ==9810== definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks. ==9810== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks. ==9810== still reachable: 185 bytes in 10 blocks. ==9810== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks. The memory leaks are caused by allocated storage of global variables.
