[Bug libc/11041] New: getopt -W doesn't work with optional arguments

[Bug libc/11041] New: getopt -W doesn't work with optional arguments

[ebb9 at byu dot net]

According to the getopt documentation, if "W;" is part of optstring, then '-W
foo' should behave like '--foo'.  But if "foo" uses an optional_argument, this
is not the case, since optarg is not NULL when using -W.

$ cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <getopt.h>
static const struct option opts[] =
  {
    { "alpha",    optional_argument, NULL, 'a' },
    { NULL,       0,                 NULL, 0 }
  };
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  int c = getopt_long (argc, argv, "W;", opts, NULL);
  if (c == -1)
    puts ("got -1");
  else
    printf ("got %c, with arg %s\n", c, optarg);
  return 0;
}
$ ./foo --a
got a, with arg (null)
$ ./foo -W a
got a, with arg a

Another instance:

Commits b8b17701a and fc5f4a974 add special handling of getopt_long (but NOT
getopt_long_only) to recognize alternate spellings that would result in the same
behavior, and treat those as non-ambiguous.  But -W did not pick up the same
code change.

$ cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <getopt.h>
static const struct option opts[] =
  {
    { "a1",    no_argument, NULL, 'a' },
    { "a2",    no_argument, NULL, 'a' },
    { NULL,    0,           NULL, 0 }
  };
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  int c = getopt_long (argc, argv, ":W;", opts, NULL);
  if (c == -1)
    puts ("got -1");
  else
    printf ("got %c\n", c);
  return 0;
}
$ ./foo --a
got a
$ ./foo -W a
got ?
