Better information about hidden command line options


Posted on Jul 14, 2014 by Happy Dog

Different modes of ADDA have slightly different sets of available command line options. Unused options are turned off completely at compile time. This is good, as they don't show up in output of 'adda -h'. However, it may lead to certain confusion, when one tries to use them, as it leads to "unknown command line option" (e.g. when using -save_geom in sparse mode.

It would be nice, if ADDA produces a more informative message in these cases (spelling is fine, but option is unavailable in this mode).
