Release Digest: GNU, May 27, 2003

GNU Gengetopt 2.10

GNU Gengetopt 2.10 has been released. It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gengetopt/
and mirrors of that site (see list of mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).

GNU Gengetopt generates a C function that uses getopt_long
function to parse the command line options, validate them and fill
a struct.

Version 2.10

  • correctly refer to the provided strdup if it is not in the
    standard library (thanks to Bert Deknuydt)
  • handle spaces in group names (reported by Matthew K. Junker
    <junker@alum.mit.edu>)
  • package and version defined in a .ggo file have the precedence
    over PACKAGE and VERSION (reported by Kat Manton <kat@technogoths.org>)
  • handle missing long long feature
  • correctly cast results of malloc in generated code
  • in the generated parser the generated version of strdup is
    always used (to improve portability)
  • generated conf file parser handles quoted strings (reported by
    Karsten Reincke <karsten.reincke@karubik.de>)
  • fixed many compilation/portability problems in several
    architectures (thanks to Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>)

Visit the Gengetopt home page at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/gengetopt.html.

Anonymous CVS access is available. Please visit http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gengetopt/
where you can find detailed descriptions of how to access the CVS
(read-only). I plan to make release-candidate versions available
through CVS.

Bug reports should go to bug-gengetopt@gnu.org.

cheers
