Hi all,
The implementation of getopt_long in src/port has some limitations,
for example such commands do not work but they should:
$ createdb foobar3 -E win1252
createdb: too many command-line arguments (first is "win1252")
Try "createdb --help" for more information.
$ initdb pgdata --noclean
initdb: too many command-line arguments (first is "--noclean")
Try "initdb --help" for more information.
And those ones work:
createdb -E win1252 foobar3
initdb --noclean pgdata
I bumped into this problem when running the TAP tests on Windows, but
I guess that it easy to reproduce it with any builds of Postgres on
Windows as getopt_long is used unconditionally, on any version, for
all commands. Or on any platform that has not getopt_long, if any
exists.
