Yes.

Yes, as you said, if user just passes one option -d (or -c), things would
be done during option parsing, there is no need to add the if().

But the key point is that I am not sure how to address outlaw passing both
-d and -c together (is it allowed?). If it is permitted, the behaviour is
the same as passing neither indeed, and the if() is needed to avoid latter
option overwritting former option.

What's your suggestion? Sorry, I am a little confused.
Omit former opiton when both options are given and remove if()?
Or something else?

Thanks for your time.
