Doesn't appear to work with MacOS "brew" port of bash

[fdx-apdewis]

I've tried running one of the tutorial scripts and it does not successfully parse options on MacOS via "homebrew" installation of Bash version 5.2.37, however it does on an ubuntu VM which has bash 5.1.16.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with Bash 5.2.37 or Mac homebrew build specifically at this time. Happy to provide other details as needed. Thanks.

Thanks for the report, I'll dig into that.

I cannot reproduce it on fedora 42 with bash 5.2.37

[anvil@krampouz ~/git/bash-argsparse]# bash tutorial/1-basics -o 1
Options reporting:
option2	: yes (1)
option3	: no
option1	: no
option4	: no
help   	: no
End of argsparse report.

option1 was not on the command line.
option2 was set 1 time(s) on the command line.
option3 was not on the command line.
option4 was not on the command line.

Parameter #1: 1

GNU bash, version 5.2.37(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

My guess right now is that you're not using GNU getopt. Can you confirm?

I believe MacOS is using the BSD equivalent but will need to dig into that further,.

By default, yes, Mac has indeed a non-GNU version.
