[gmx-users] Bug in option parsing?

[Åke Sandgren]

Hi!

With latest 5.1.1 i get the following

gmx tune_pme -mdrun mdrun_mpi -np 96 -npstring -n -ntomp 1 -s ...
-------------------------------------------------------
Program: gmx tune_pme, VERSION 5.1.1
Source file: src/gromacs/commandline/cmdlineparser.cpp (line 234)
Function: void gmx::CommandLineParser::parse(int*, char**)

Error in user input:
Invalid command-line options
In command-line option -npstring
Too few (valid) values

For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors
-------------------------------------------------------

Using -npstring none works as expected, while -npstring -np also fails
with a slightly different error.

----------
Error in user input:
Invalid command-line options
In command-line option -npstring
Too few (valid) values
In command-line option -np
Option specified multiple times

Hi,

there have been changes in the way the command line options are parsed.
You could put the argument to -npstring in quotation marks. I think

-npstring " -n"

(including the space before the " -" is accepted by the parser.
