Bug description

When using the Arg module, a missing argument will trigger an error.

However, the error message is printed 3 times in a row instead of only once.

Note : I tried the same piece of code with 4.03.0 and 4.02.3, and was unable to reproduce.

Steps to reproduce

With OCaml 4.04.2,

  • Create a file cli.ml containing the following:
(* cli.ml *)

let usage = "usage: " ^ Sys.argv.(0) ^ " [-d int]"

let speclist = [
  ("-d", Arg.Set_int someint, ": some int parameter");
]

let () =
  Arg.parse
    speclist
    (fun x -> raise (Arg.Bad ("Bad argument : " ^ x)))
    usage;
  Printf.printf "%d\n" !someint

  • Run with $ ocaml cli.ml -d (note the missing argument after -d)

  • Look at the error message:

cli.ml: option '-d' needs an argument.
usage: cli.ml [-d int]
  -d : some int parameter
  -help  Display this list of options
  --help  Display this list of options
cli.ml: cli.ml: option '-d' needs an argument.
usage: cli.ml [-d int]
  -d : some int parameter
  -help  Display this list of options
  --help  Display this list of options
.
usage: cli.ml [-d int]
  -d : some int parameter
  -help  Display this list of options
  --help  Display this list of options
```g
