From 6f03b61b46d238d480f5b7730ba906e172066e59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Holland Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 20:36:42 -0600 Subject: getopt_long: accept prefix match of long options containing equals signs Consider the first equals sign found in the option to be the delimiter between it and its argument, even if it matches an equals sign in the option name. This avoids consuming the equals sign, which would prevent finding the argument. Instead, it forces a partial match of the part of the option name before the equals sign. Maintainer's note: GNU getopt_long does not explicitly document this behavior, but it can be seen as a consequence of how partial matches are specified, and at least GNU (bfd) ld is known to make use of it. --- src/misc/getopt_long.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/misc/getopt_long.c b/src/misc/getopt_long.c index 0d1501d4..008b747c 100644 --- a/src/misc/getopt_long.c +++ b/src/misc/getopt_long.c @@ -63,7 +63,8 @@ static int __getopt_long_core(int argc, char *const *argv, const char *optstring const char *name = longopts[i].name; opt = argv[optind]+1; if (*opt == '-') opt++; - for (; *name && *name == *opt; name++, opt++); + while (*opt && *opt != '=' && *opt == *name) + name++, opt++; if (*opt && *opt != '=') continue; arg = opt; match = i; -- cgit v1.2.1
