accept option arguments (even in enum)

Hi there,
long time was passing by since my last mail. It actually means the current version suffices our needs quite very well. Actually it is a good piece of work! Congratulation. Now we have run into a problem. gengetopt denies special characters (ie. symbols like '-' or '+') in enum option values and in default values as well suspectedly. We would like to have a filter option which filters out/in the specified type of records. We thought it was quite natural to do it in the following way: option "filter" f "include or exclude the given type in case of leading '-' or '+', respectively." multiple enum values="-unspecified","-ok","-incompatible","-missing","-other", "+unspecified","+ok","+incompatible","+missing","+other", "problematic","all" default="problematic" optional What do you think? gengetopt should enable symbols in enums or should we rephrase our idea? Please note that this option is multiple enum, so the real strength of this approach that custom mixed filter definitions can be described this way: --filter=+other,-missing -- Papp, Gyozo VirusBuster Kft _______________________________________________ Help-gengetopt mailing list Help-gengetopt@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gengetopt |

My only concern is the literals used for the actual C enum values: + and - are not valid characters, so these characters should be translated in the C enum... something like enum { filter_MINUS_UNSPECIFIED, filter_PLUS_OK, ... } what do you think? Or do you have any other suggestion? cheers Lorenzo -- Lorenzo Bettini, PhD in Computer Science, DI, Univ.

Or do you have any other suggestion? It would be ok. My first thought was to simply ignore special characters and replace them with an underscore (_) however it would raise the risk of ambiguity. MINUS , PLUS (and the others like QUOTE, EXCLAMATION?) would be ok. _______________________________________________ Help-gengetopt mailing list Help-gengetopt@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gengetopt |

hi
I've uploaded a candidate release here http://rap.dsi.unifi.it/~bettini/gengetopt-2.22.3.tar.gz which provides this feature (you may want to take a look at test_values* files). look forward to getting some feedback and then I'll release it :-) cheers Lorenzo Papp Gyozo (VBuster) wrote: > Hi, > >>> What do you think? gengetopt should enable symbols in enums or should we >> rephrase our idea?

Gyozo, on august I sent this email with a version that should implement
what you requested, have you managed to try it? hi I've uploaded a candidate release here http://rap.dsi.unifi.it/~bettini/gengetopt-2.22.3.tar.gz which provides this feature (you may want to take a look at test_values* files). look forward to getting some feedback and then I'll release it :-) cheers Lorenzo Papp Gyozo (VBuster) wrote: > Hi, > >>> What do you think? gengetopt should enable symbols in enums or should we >> rephrase our idea?
