Feature #7981: ruby does not respect --

• Status: Open
• Assignee: -
• Target version: -

[mpapis (Michal Papis)]

=begin
in ((%ruby --help%)) I have found:

Usage: ruby [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]

so I have tried this example:

$ echo 'puts :ok' | ruby -- --params
> ruby: No such file or directory -- --params (LoadError)

I have assumed that ((%[argumments]%)) are independent from ((%[programfile]%))

In the current state of code the help message should be:

Usage: ruby [switches] [--] [programfile [arguments]]

But I would prefer that it would be fixed and anything after ((%[--]%)) that is not program gets ignored, so we can use the shell style:

$ echo 'echo "args:$*:"' | bash -s -- --params
> args:--params:

=end
