It should work. Seems like Getopt.pmod got broken in revision 1.22:

revision 1.22 date: 2002/11/15 02:57:35; author: nilsson; state: Exp; lines: +170 -238 Refreshed.

Perhaps a little too refreshing behavior, Nilsson?

Hello,

I got strange differences between the startup of pike 7.4 release 13 and pike 7.3 release 60

pike 7.3.30 doing a line like pike -I server/include/ -M server/libraries/ -P server server/server.pike will start "server.pike"

pike 7.4.13 will return with:

Pike: Couldn't find script to execute ("/home/balduin/cs133/pike4/steam/-M")

pwd is: /home/balduin/cs133/pike4/steam doing

pike --include-path=./server/include/ --module-path=./server/libraries/ --program-path=server ./server/server.pike

on the other hand will work properly.

yet pike --help will report the short forms as still valid

Just a note: I didn't draw that conclusion just from the log message; I've tested that 1.21 works and 1.22 doesn't. Apparently it's the spaces between short options and their values that is the problem.

Could be. I did however write a few tests (a hundred or so) to prevent breakage.
