Hi there,

I’m going through ir.exe’s command line arguments and I have a few  
questions:

1. -X:AutoIndent and -X:TabCompletion are currently not implemented. Are  
they in the plans for V1?
2. -save [path] what does it do?

Thanks!  
Shay.

I’m pretty sure none of these are implemented yet, though we might do  
AutoIndent and TabCompletion for 1.0. I’ll let Tomas chime in on the  
-save option. Keep in mind we share the console implementation with  
IronPython, so some of these options are specifically for IronPython,  
and IronRuby simply doesn’t hide them. I’d open a bug on this, but looks  
like codeplex is being upgraded. =P

This bug is fixed already 🙂

-save is for experimental purposes only. It shouldn’t show up in release  
builds of ir.exe.  
-X:AutoIndent and -X:TabCompletion should also be hidden.
