Re: GetOpt bug causing it to mistakenly reject options as ambiguous

There is a bug in System.Console.GetOpt causing it to mistakenly reject options as ambiguous.
Two weeks have passed since I reported this, with no response thus far. Does nobody care about fixing an easily reproducable, easily fixable bug? If so, would it not be more appropriate if the "Maintainer" field in the GetOpt Haddock docs said "N/A" instead of "libraries@haskell.org"? Eelis

The issue is that it needs to be entered into the bug tracker, then the base libraries maintainer will take care of it. Could you file a ticket, with your patch, here: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submissions Then Igloo can apply it, and close the ticket. It won't get lost, and authority will be properly delegated. Thanks for the contribution! -- Don

After pulling HEAD to prepare a proper darcs patch (as per library submission procedure), I found that Malcolm Wallace had actually already applied the fix. :-) Next time I'll follow procedure. Thanks Don, Malcolm. Eelis

This should suffice, as it isn't an API change: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/newticket?type=bug&component=libraries/base

Thanks for the patch! Duncan applied it to the GetOpt in Cabal on the 11th: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cabal-devel/2008-March/002405.html and Malcolm then applied it to base's GetOpt on the 12th: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-libraries/2008-March/008332.html Unfortunately, it looks like they forgot to send a mail to let you know what had happened! Sorry about that. Thanks Ian
