Bug 9583 – std.getopt.getopt does not consume options terminator "--" from args list, as docs claim

Code: import std.getopt; import std.stdio; void main(string[] args) { int opt; writeln(args); getopt(args, "opt", &opt); writeln(args); } Results: $ ./test --opt=123 -- --a --b --c ["./test", "--opt=123", "--", "--a", "--b", "--c"] ["./test", "--", "--a", "--b", "--c"] $ Contrary to what the docs claim, the options terminator "--" is not consumed by getopt.

As stated by the docs. (Cf. issue 9583) https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/commit/d6af6284383f84ff88b5420f9f66115315e4d20a Merge pull request #1159 from quickfur/getopt_optend Fix issue 9583

The fix introduced a regression in rdmd (issue 9622). It might have been better to change the documentation instead.

I don't understand, isn't that a bug with rdmd, not with this fix? Besides, one of my programs depends on this fix, because sometimes it needs getopt to not processing subsequent arguments that may begin with '-'.

Yeah, you're right. The old behavior made no sense.
