Firefox Devs,<br>
<br>
Last week in <a
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1410564">bug 1410564</a>
I landed support for the double-dash variant of command line flags
(--flag) in nsCommandLine on Windows.<br>
<br>
If you've previously implemented Firefox command-line flags and found
that you had to recommend using the single-dash variant of a flag in
order for your documentation to be accurate across platforms, you no
longer have to do that (as of Firefox 58).<br>
<br>
The double-dash variant was already supported for flags handled by <a
href="http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/1c4901d/toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp#493">CheckArg
in nsAppRunner.cpp</a>, which is why it worked for certain flags. Also
note related <a
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1406590">bug 1406590</a>,
where I added support for single-dash flags with values delimited by an
equals sign (-name=value) on all platforms.<br>
