From bb5219251479ef8f54df299269ae738ba19ce681 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Bossart Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2024 13:50:36 -0600 Subject: [PATCH v6 1/1] Provide a better error message for misplaced dispatch options. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Before this patch, specifying a special must-be-first option for dispatching to a subprogram (e.g., postgres -D . --single) would fail with an error like FATAL: --single requires a value This patch adjusts this error to more accurately complain that the special option wasn't listed first. The previous error message now looks like FATAL: --single must be first argument The dispatch option parsing code has been refactored for use wherever ParseLongOption() is called. Beyond the obvious advantage of avoiding code duplication, this should prevent similar problems when new dispatch options are added. Note that we assume that none of the dispatch option names match another valid command-line argument, such as the name of a configuration parameter. Ideally, we'd remove this must-be-first requirement for these options, but after some investigation, we felt that the added complexity and behavior changes weren't worth it.
