The problem is, that from the C/C++ specs it is not clear wether char is
signed or unsigned. This means it depends on the implementation of your
C/C++ compiler. gcc has signed char on most architectures, but on ppc it
is unsigned. getopt_long gives -1 if there are no more options, which is
not mapped properly to char on ppc.
In src/osdsh/osdsh.c you have in parse_args ():
char c;
...
while ((c = getopt_long(argc, argv, "hm:f:c:p:d:o:a:n:", opts, &opt_index)) >= 0) {
switch(c) {
case 'h':
usage(0, NULL, NULL);
exit(0);
...
default:
usage(1, NULL, NULL);
exit(1);
}
This means if you giv -h then it prints its usage and exits with 0, if
you give nothing it does the default and exits with 1. The other options
are set correctly, but you don't notice it since the loop ends in
default.
The solution is to write int c; instead of char c;
With best regards,
