Regardless of what happens when you invoke dmd without arguments, this is still unexpected, and user expectation is foundational to usability. Educating one user doesn't propagate through them all. It's more useful to more users to follow sed and awk's example than to do what find does: wyatt@Yue ~ $ find -h find: unknown predicate `-h' wyatt@Yue ~ $ dmd -h Error: unrecognized switch '-h' Another possibility would be to simply print the help when the switch is unrecognised, but I dislike this option because it removes the inherent "spell checking" for switches that the current behaviour provides. e.g. wyatt@Yue ~ $ dmd -O -unitest -inline foo.d Error: unrecognized switch '-unitest' wyatt@Yue ~ $ dmd -O2 foo.d Error: unrecognized switch '-O2' -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
