[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60886] Command line option '--gui' ignored when used together with '--path'

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #60886 (project octave):

I pushed a patch that removes the impossible(?) case statement here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/3583b11e151b

At the moment, `main.cc` still does what you describe.
IIUC, it passes all arguments (minus the ones that were already removed before
the changes here) on to the "actual" program. I was assuming the the
`default:` case would include unrecognized option characters or anything
alike. Is this not the case?

Since `octave-{gui,cli}` will always need to check for errors in their
arguments anyway, there is probably not much point in duplicating those checks
in the wrapper imho. But I might be missing something.

What is still missing to fix the wrapper program to ignore getopt errors?
