Use --help as alias of -help, following gnu-ish style. > I've sometimes wondered whether we should put in support for gnu -- type commandline options. The one that is probably most useful is --version. In the end I've not done anything as if someone starts to use the gnu style, they might get confused that they don't work with older versions of SWIG, eg this one might end up in a script to check the version. However, maybe we could put in more support for some of the commonly known commandline options? Maybe we should provide an alias for -- style options for all the options? Any thought? William |
