Sumagna Das (Dec 28 2020 at 17:10): Sumagna Das (Dec 28 2020 at 17:10):Also....I was looking at gcv.c
I saw that there was a variable called unknown_ac. I tried using it for accesing extra arguments and it worked pretty well. We can use it for the multiple files system but don't know how we can do that.
Sumagna Das (Dec 28 2020 at 17:10):Any suggestions?
Sumagna Das (Dec 28 2020 at 20:05):just tested somewhat of a prototype for the multi file support for GCV but its not the kind of thing one would like
Sumagna Das (Dec 28 2020 at 20:06):i am passing the arguments and the unknown_ac variable straight to the plugin through gcv_options (dont remember why i used that struct for passing info).
Sumagna Das (Dec 28 2020 at 20:07):that worked perfectly for the png plugin (i dont know how to test the other plugins so....)
Sumagna Das (Dec 28 2020 at 20:11):one file input -> one-file.g
multi file input -> multi-file.g
Sumagna Das (Dec 28 2020 at 20:12):the files linked above were entirely with gcv
Sean (Feb 02 2021 at 18:19):@Sumagna Das I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I've been trying to put all my time and attention into our git migration and it's been a bit all-consuming.
Sean (Feb 02 2021 at 18:22):I think it's a bit lucky that it works via unknown args just because there aren't other commands using/claiming it. I think what we probably want to do is require explicit declaration when there are multiple inputs in order to keep the Usage deterministic. That is, in order to specify multiple inputs, one would specify -i multiple times, and same for multiple outputs. Implies -i and -o changing to a list of strings instead of assuming a single filepath string.
Sean (Feb 02 2021 at 18:23):The alternative would be to use some sort of delimeter like -i "file1;file2;file3"

this sounds like a good idea.
