It is natural to expect that an option defined with OPT_BOOLEAN() could be used in this way: int option = -1; /* unspecified */ struct option options[] = { OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "option", &option, "set option"), OPT_END() }; parse_options(ac, av, prefix, options, usage, 0); if (option < 0) ... do the default thing ... else if (!option) ... --no-option was given ... else ... --option was given ... to easily tell three cases apart: - There is no mention of the `--option` on the command line; - The variable is positively set with `--option`; or - The variable is explicitly negated with `--no-option`. Unfortunately, this is not the case. OPT_BOOLEAN() increments the variable every time `--option` is given, and resets it to zero when `--no-option` is given. As a first step to remedy this, introduce a true boolean OPT_BOOL(), and rename OPT_BOOLEAN() to OPT_COUNTUP(). To help transitioning, OPT_BOOLEAN and OPTION_BOOLEAN are defined as deprecated synonyms to OPT_COUNTUP and OPTION_COUNTUP respectively. This is what db7244bd (parse-options new features., 2007-11-07) from four years ago started by marking OPTION_BOOLEAN as "INCR would have been a better name". Some existing users do depend on the count-up semantics; for example, users of OPT__VERBOSE() could use it to raise the verbosity level with repeated use of `-v` on the command line, but they probably should be rewritten to use OPT__VERBOSITY() instead these days. I suspect that some users of OPT__FORCE() may also use it to implement different level of forcibleness but I didn't check. On top of this patch, here are the remaining clean-up tasks that other people can help: - Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT_BOOLEAN"; trace all uses of the value that is set to the underlying variable, and if it can proven that the variable is only used as a boolean, replace it with OPT_BOOL(). If the caller does depend on the count-up semantics, replace it with OPT_COUNTUP() instead. - Same for OPTION_BOOLEAN; replace it with OPTION_SET_INT and arrange to set 1 to the variable for a true boolean, and otherwise replace it with OPTION_COUNTUP. - Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT__VERBOSE -e OPT__QUIET" and see if they can be replaced with OPT__VERBOSITY(). I'll follow this message up with a separate patch as an example. Signed-off-by: NJunio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
