Pull request overview
Fixes a CLI crash in spine when -O/--option is provided without a : separator by guarding against strchr() returning NULL.
Changes:
- Add a
NULLcheck before dereferencing the pointer returned bystrchr()in-O/--optionparsing.

- The
&& *valueclause is redundant here: whenvalue != NULL,valuepoints at the ':' character, so*valueis always non-zero. If the intent is to validate that both setting and value are present (per--option=S:V), consider checking that there is at least one character after the ':' (e.g.,value[1] != '\0') and optionally thatsettingis non-empty before callingset_option(); otherwise simplify the condition to justif (value != NULL)to avoid implying stronger validation than is actually performed.
if (value != NULL && *value) {
*value++ = '\0';
} else {
die("ERROR: -O requires setting:value");
}

Code-reviewed as part of a batch with #525-#531. These 7 atomic bug fixes are independent of each other and can be merged in any order; recommend bundling into a single dated release. The Windows/CMake work in #523/#524 should follow this batch, and #512 (production CI pipeline) should be split into smaller PRs before review. |

When -O is passed without a colon separator, strchr returns NULL. The next line dereferences it unconditionally, causing a segfault. Add NULL check before dereference.
