Hello all, I am forwarding a message of Christoph Anton Mitterer (Cc'ed) which was reported at Red Hat Bugzilla. However this does not feel for me like a downstream thing but more relevant for popt upstream, thus relaying it:

Hi.
The manpage has the following table in the section "1. THE OPTION TABLE":
Value Description arg Type
POPT_ARG_NONE No argument expected int
POPT_ARG_STRING No type checking to be performed char *
POPT_ARG_ARGV No type checking to be performed char **
POPT_ARG_SHORT An short argument is expected short
POPT_ARG_INT An integer argument is expected int
POPT_ARG_LONG A long integer is expected long
POPT_ARG_LONGLONG A long long integer is expected long long
POPT_ARG_VAL Integer value taken from val int
POPT_ARG_FLOAT An float argument is expected float
POPT_ARG_DOUBLE A double argument is expected double
Apparently all types but char* and char** (i.e. int, short, long,
long long, float and double) need to be pointers to the respective types.
Cheers,
Chris.
