ecpg option --help alternative -? doesn't work in windows.
In windows, the PG provided getopt_long function is used
for reading the provided options.
The getopt_long function returns '?' for invalid characters
also but it sets optopt option to 0 in case if the character
itself is a '?'. But this works for Linux and others, whereas
for windows, optopt is not 0. Because of this reason it is
failing.
I feel, from this commit 5b88b85c on wards, it is not working.
I feel instead of fixing the getopt_long function to reset optopt
parameter to zero whenever it is returning '?', I prefer fixing
the ecpg in handling the version and help options seperate.
Agreed. This does have one annoying consequence, though: --help and
--version are now only accepted as the first argument. But that's
consistent with most of our binaries. psql does this slightly
differently, though, so e.g. "psql --t --help" works. It might be worth
changing all our binaries to follow psql's example, but that's another
story.
Patch is attached. Any one prefers the getopt_long function
fix, I can produce the patch for the same.
Committed, thanks!
