Note that G_define_option() also calls G_malloc(), and G_define_option() only makes sense *before* calling G_parser(). G_malloc() and G_fatal_error() are among a handful of functions which can legitimately be used before calling G_parser(). Bear in mind that many modules do far worse things before calling G_parser() (e.g. calling complex functions to get default values for options). A few don't call G_parser() at all. One thing which I have been considering for 7.x is to add tests to a handful of core functions to generate a fatal error if they are called before G_parser(). The functions which would be affected are those which read the $GISRC, VAR and WIND files. That should be enough to prevent use of any more substantial functions without interfering with utility functions such as G_malloc(), G_store() etc. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
