Hello people,
I've been trying to get GOption and friends working - but it seems
we're not on friendly terms.
1) I defined a GOptionEntry as:
{"debug", 'd', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_STRING, &dbg, "Debug options", "opts"},
and find that
-d e works
--debug e
--debug=e work correctly
-de gives "option parsing failed: Missing argument for -d"
The form (-de), frequently used, fails though it is advertised
in the Command line parser description:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-Commandline-option-parser.html#g-option-context-add-main-entries
why?
2) The above entry should have a list of the actual debug options,
but I haven't found a practical way to add them to the help text.
I'd like to add options like:
p: debug printing
l: debug logging
Actually, I've extended the "Debug options" string with \n's and
looong string, but there should be a more practical way... is there?
3) The reason I wanted to migrate to GOption, is that it seems
gnome_program_init doesn't eliminate the recognized default arguments
such as --g-fatal-warnings, if added. So, in gdb, a run
--g-fatal-warnings produces an error in getopt.
I've looked through numerous pages - can anyone point to an app that
actually uses GOption for more than a minimal options set?
Thanks,
John
