ragel 7: -C is an invalid argument #62

Closed evanmiller closed 3 years ago

evanmiller commented 3 years ago

I have some scripts written for Ragel 6 that use the -C argument. These exit with an error using Ragel 7 (" -C is an invalid argument"). The flag is advertised as valid in the --help output.

Thanks Evan, I removed the items from the help screen. While ragel 7 programs are compatible with version 6, but the command line is not. All the non-C languages are now distributed as separate binaries, so it doesn't make sense to support those old command line options anymore.
