FLAGS_ARGC is now obsolete, and is replaced by FLAGS_ARGV. + +Fixed issue# 7 where long flags defined with '=' (e.g. --abc=123) made it +impossible for the user to know how many non-flag command-line arguments were +available because the value returned by FLAGS_ARGC was wrong. The FLAGS_ARGC +value is now obsolete, but will be maintained for backwards compatibility. The +new method of getting the non-flag arguments is by executing 'eval set -- +"${FLAGS_ARGV}"' after the FLAGS command. The arguments will then be available +using the standard shell $#, $@, $*, $1, etc. variables. + +Due to above fix for issue# 7, there is now proper support for mixing flags +with non-flag arguments on the command-line. Previously, all non-flag arguments +had to be at the end of the command-line. + +Renamed _flags_standardGetopt() and _flags_enhancedGetopt() functions to +_flags_getoptStandard() and _flags_getoptEnhanced(). + +Took out the setting and restoration of the '-u' shell flag to treat unset +variables as an error. No point in having it in this library as it is verified +in the unit tests, and provides basically no benefit. + + Changes with 1.0.2 ------------------ |
