Well, it does seem possible indeed, but I haven't figured out a way to
get gcc to unroll a loop the way I need it to so that I can avoid using
static offsets. Short of doing so, the compile-time check would require
repetitive code that supplies static offsets. Here is an example that
will detect a dupe for up to 8 characters.
I don't think you are solving the same question as posed by the OP. It
is not a question of whether there are duplicate short-option letters in
the option string passed to getopt() (a compile-time value), but whether
there are conflicting options, from mutually exclusive groups, passed in
by the user at runtime. getopt_long() doesn't even have a way to mark
up mutually-exclusive options. It seems to me that argp allows for a
bit more fancy layouts in option parsing, but as far as I know, anyone
using getopt and wanting to enforce mutual exclusion between particular
options has had to do it by hand.
