NthArgument() question

[vefatica]

If I do this,

WCHAR szClassExpr[128] = L"*";
​

and later while parsing a command line,

else if ( !lstrcmpi(arg, L"/CLASS") )

NthArgument(psz, (++i) | 0x8800, szClassExpr, NULL);
​

and no argument was provided to the "/CLASS" option, then NthArgument() fails (not finding arg ++i) but szClassExpr gets clobbered (winds up with szClassExpr[0] == 0). This clobbering is mildly inconvenient. Can it be used to advantage? Thanks

WAD - the target argument is always cleared, regardless of whether
there's a matching argument. This will definitely not be changed, as it
would break most of the internals in TCC & Take Command.
