Patch (cobc.c) for option -D: Check that we don't use other options starting with a small "d"
cobc -debug
leads to checks for out-of-bounds, NULL addresses, ...

What does 
cobc -Debug
do?

If it does nothing it should be blocked like the other params, Quote:
cobc: unrecognized option `-Fnotrunc'

Re: What should -Debug do?
It passes ebug to the C compiler as a define. Shows up with -v. it looks like -Debug to gcc too. ;)

Cheers,
Brian

Re: What should -Debug do?
Can somebody please explain what this is good for (and whether we can remove this command line option because of the too easy possibility to mix it with the more important -debug)?

Re: What should -Debug do?
Well, it is a little hard on us, but it might save someone with cobc -DSTDIOBORKED simple.cob, for some weird or new platform.

Maybe...?

Cheers,

Re: What should -Debug do?
Yep, defines are important. A simple check does the trick (in cobc.c, process_command_line) 
		case 'D':	/* -D */
			// Check that we don't use other options starting with a small "d"
			if (!strcmp(optarg, "ebug")) {
				fprintf (stderr, "Warning - passing '%s' to compiler, did you intended to use -debug?\n", optarg);
				fflush (stderr);
			}
#ifdef _MSC_VER
			strcat (cob_define_flags, "/D \"");
			strcat (cob_define_flags, optarg);
			strcat (cob_define_flags, "\" ");
#else
			strcat (cob_define_flags, "-D");
			strcat (cob_define_flags, optarg);
			strcat (cob_define_flags, " ");
#endif
			break;
