This is a bit of a hack to maintain some semblance of backward
compatibility with the old, Perl-based glib-mkenums. The old tool had an
implicit ordering on the arguments and templates; each argument was
parsed in order, and all the strings appended. This allowed developers
to write:
glib-mkenums \
--fhead ... \
--template a-template-file.c.in \
--ftail ...
And have the fhead be prepended to the file-head stanza in the template,
as well as the ftail be appended to the file-tail stanza in the
template. Short of throwing away ArgumentParser and going over
sys.argv[] element by element, we can simulate that behaviour by
ensuring some ordering in how we build the template strings:
- the head stanzas are always prepended to the template
- the prod stanzas are always appended to the template
- the tail stanzas are always appended to the template
Within each instance of the command line argument, we append each value
to the array in the order in which it appears on the command line.
This change fixes the libqmi build.
