Hi all, I'd like to suggest the following: use GNU getopt() for the command line options (--optionArgument is just greatly confusing: --option Argument is so much nicer, and you get rid of all the else if() in chuck_main. (plus I can offer my help in converting chuck_main to getopt(), if you want me to go ahead) Your next_power_2() function seems to waste loads of cycles, although this doesn't really matter, as it is only used at startup, but wouldn't that be a nice feature for the language anyway? Try: /* Thanks to music-dsp mailing-list */ inline unsigned nextPowerOfTwo (unsigned n) { unsigned prevN; for (prevN = n; n &= n-1; prevN = n) ; return (prevN * 2); } much faster...

good idea - how standard is getopt()? --option Argument is certainly better. if it is very standard (or we can contain getopt in distribution), then we should look into use it.

you are right. the code that you posted is integrated - also added to ulib_math. Thanks Niklas. Ge!

Linux: always there included in glibc, everybody uses it. OSX: you need to ship getopt.h(6.4kB) with your code to be sure it's
