[Scons-users] "Partial" user options not working

[Antoine Pelisse]

Hi Scons users,

I have met a bug with "partially given user option". But code says more
than words:

---
~/test> cat SConstruct
AddOption('--something', action='store_true', dest='somewhere',
default=False)

print GetOption('somewhere')
~/test> scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
False
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
scons: `.' is up to date.
scons: done building targets.
~/test> scons --something
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
True
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
scons: `.' is up to date.
scons: done building targets.
~/test> scons --somethi
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
False
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
scons: `.' is up to date.
scons: done building targets.
~/test> scons --version

I expect scons to either use my --somethi option, or to yell that it
doesn't exist. Not to ignore it. Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Antoine
