Description (last modified by Peter)

needed for ticket:413

I get the following error:

./psd --min-temp="-60"
psd: : invalid option -- 6
Try `psd --help' for more information.

I've tried

./psd --min-temp=-60
./psd --min-temp -60

and they all give the same error.

(In [1431]) refs #418 - added a test for this bug. The test is not active in the sense it does not affect the retunred value, but in verbose mode there is some output.

The problem is that Option::parse is taking arguments by value. In end of parse in OptionArg? there is a call ++first, but this has no effect outside in CommandLine so iterator pointing to current parameter is then pointing to "-6" and there is no such option. If replacing "-6" with "6", the "6" is detected not to be an option (since it doesn't start with '-') and that element is just ignored (see ticket:413). This also implies that if ticket:413 is implemented (the "6" is not ignored) this will cause a problem, so it probably better to fix this first.

I was hoping to fix this within 0.4 but I'll give up since it is more or less impossible without changing the interface.
