Minus symbol stripped from negative numbers about argtable3 HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @tadejg , I've confirmed the issue and I'll check how to resolve it. Thanks for raising this problem.

Hi @tadejg , this behavior is caused by the behavior of getopt. Since Argtable3 is based on getopt, it also has this behavior.

A workaround is using -- to tell getopt that all the command-line options after -- should be treated as untagged options (in Argtable3, an untagged option is an option that does not have both short and long option names). In other words, you have to use:

$ set <key> -- <value>
$ set -- <key> <value>

I've verified that adding -- can resolve this issue. Here is how I setup the table:

struct arg_str* key = arg_str1(NULL, NULL, "<key>", "key to set");
struct arg_int* value = arg_int1(NULL, NULL, "<value>", "value to set");
struct arg_end* end = arg_end(20);
void* argtable[] = {key, value, end};
