Hi Giulio,
first of all, thank you so much for your hard work. It is appreciated.
Secondly, I think the proposed changes to the options are good, so from
me it is a "go ahead" on the options.
Thirdly, I will try to make time for a code review of your changes,
which might ferret out some bugs, so don't worry about that either.
In conclusion: From me, it is a "please go ahead".
Best wishes,
Ulrik Sandborg-Petersen

Hi to all,
I am proceeding with my work trying to update acopost codebase.
I now have several commits that I would like to push, but I think we
should agree on some of them before I proceed.
I have completed the work about readline replacement, so now there are
just a few other functions that should be replaced with re-entrant
alternatives (e.g.: strtok, lowercase, tokenizer, ...).
In the meanwhile I started rewriting option handling. I wrote a module
that has been inspired by the glib one for option handling, that
improves readability very much. However this module enforces some
common practice that introduces some incompatibilities (in particular
it forces options to appear before file names) and I introduced some
others in order to make the command lines interfaces more uniform: all
commands should respect -h (help) and -v (verbosity level), when
dictionary is needed -d should be used, -o is used for operation mode,
accepting integers or names, always with the same meaning across binaries.
I think the benefits of a common interface are better then perfect
backward compatibility. However, before pushing it and before
completing my job (met is still not updated, documentation is not
updated as well), I would like to know if you think this work is
useful or if you consider this change too intrusive.
I modified met so that now it uses malloced arrays (and do not crash
anymore with my PC). Unfortunately it is very slow. I do not know if
this was expected or if it is due to my changes.
I have made so many changes that I likely introduced several bugs.
I also tried to compile a list of my desiderata in a TODO file. I
guess we could also add other items to that list (e.g.: make the
tagger more generic).
What do you think about it? May I proceed?
Bests,
Giulio.
