Only a single PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option can be specified for the same variable at the same time. This is enforced by get_value(), but the error messages are imprecise in three ways: 1. If a non-PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option changes the value variable of a PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option then an ominously vague message is shown: $ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --set23 --mode1 error: option `mode1' : incompatible with something else Worse: If the order of options is reversed then no error is reported at all: $ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --mode1 --set23 boolean: 0 integer: 23 magnitude: 0 timestamp: 0 string: (not set) abbrev: 7 verbose: -1 quiet: 0 dry run: no file: (not set) Fortunately this can currently only happen in the test helper; actual Git commands don't share the same variable for the value of options with and without the flag PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE. 2. If there are multiple options with the same value (synonyms), then the one that is defined first is shown rather than the one actually given on the command line, which is confusing: $ git am --resolved --quit error: option `quit' is incompatible with --continue 3. Arguments of PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE options are not handled by the parse-option machinery. This is left to the callback function. We currently only have a single affected option, --show-current-patch of git am. Errors for it can show an argument that was not actually given on the command line: $ git am --show-current-patch --show-current-patch=diff error: options '--show-current-patch=diff' and '--show-current-patch=raw' cannot be used together The options --show-current-patch and --show-current-patch=raw are synonyms, but the error accuses the user of input they did not actually made. Or it can awkwardly print a NULL pointer: $ git am --show-current-patch=diff --show-current-patch error: options '--show-current-patch=(null)' and '--show-current-patch=diff' cannot be used together The reasons for these shortcomings is that the current code checks incompatibility only when encountering a PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option at the command line, and that it searches the previous incompatible option by value. Fix the first two points by checking all PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE variables after parsing each option and by storing all relevant details if their value changed. Do that whether or not the changing options has the flag PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE set. Report an incompatibility only if two options change the variable to different values and at least one of them is a PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option. This changes the output of the first three examples above to: $ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --set23 --mode1 error: --mode1 is incompatible with --set23 $ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --mode1 --set23 error: --set23 is incompatible with --mode1 $ git am --resolved --quit error: --quit is incompatible with --resolved Store the argument of PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE options of type OPTION_CALLBACK as well to allow taking over the responsibility for compatibility checking from the callback function. The next patch will use this capability to fix the messages for git am --show-current-patch. Use a linked list for storing the PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE variables. This somewhat outdated data structure is simple and suffices, as the number of elements per command is currently only zero or one. We do support multiple different command modes variables per command, but I don't expect that we'd ever use a significant number of them. Once we do we can switch to a hashmap. Since we no longer need to search the conflicting option, the all_opts parameter of get_value() is no longer used. Remove it. Extend the tests to check for both conflicting option names, but don't insist on a particular order. Signed-off-by:
