-------------------------------------
Summary: getopt doesn't work correctly when used in plugin chaining
Key: TS-3245
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3245
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugins
Reporter: Sudheer Vinukonda
When multiple plugins that use getopt are chained, it doesn't work correctly
for the subsequent plugins after the first plugin. [[email protected]] and
[~zwoop] suggested that the getopt globals need to be reset (example, {{optind
= opterr = optopt = 0}}) before using it and would be better to do it in the
core during plugin loading to keep it simple/transparent from plugin
development.
Note that, if a plugin itself uses getopt multiple times on different argv's,
it would have to reset the globals between them.
