[Bug 840467] Re: Bash-completion does not respect end of options argument (--)

[Mathew Hodson]

I tested the commands in the description and comment #4. I get the
options for ls not valgrind, and I don't get the behaviour described in
comment #4.

$ valgrind -- ls -<TAB><TAB>
--all
--almost-all
--author
--block-size=
--classify
--color
--color=
--context
--dereference
--dereference-command-line
--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir
--directory
--dired
--escape
--file-type
--format=
--group-directories-first
--help
--hide=
--hide-control-chars
--human-readable
--ignore=
--ignore-backups
--More--

$ valgrind -- nan<TAB>
$ valgrind -- nano

$ apt list valgrind
Listing... Done
valgrind/trusty-proposed,now 1:3.10.1-1ubuntu3~14.04 amd64 [installed]

Title:
  Bash-completion does not respect end of options argument (--)

Status in valgrind package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in valgrind source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in valgrind source package in Vivid:
  New

Bug description:
  Valgrind does not attempt to parse argument after seeing "--". The
  bash completion script does not take that into account when completing
  commands after valgrind and `valgrind -- ls -<TAB><TAB>` still tries
  to complete valgrinds options.
