Nothing has changed. Below is a testcase.

--Felix

#include <stdio.h>
#include <getopt.h>

int main(void) {
	struct option opts[2] = {{"opt", 1, NULL, 'o'}, {0, 0, 0, 0}};
	int ret;

	ret = getopt_long(2, (char *[3]){"a", "--opt", 0}, "", opts, NULL);
	if (ret != '?') printf("'%d' != '%d'\n", ret, '?');

	return 0;
}
