System: Linux decomino 2.2.17 #1 Mon Sep 4 20:22:16 UTC 2000 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686

>Description:
Further to c/761, the following C++ options are not documented in the
GCC Texinfo manual (in addition the the previously listed backend
ones, and undocumented options such as -Wmissing-braces shared with
C).
-fnew-abi
-fconst-strings
-flabels-ok
-fnonansi-builtins
-fstats
-fvtable-gc
-fweak
-fxref
-Wextern-inline
>How-To-Repeat:
Observe such an option in the source or a Makefile or --help output;
try and fail to find any explanation in the manual of exactly what it
does.
>Fix:
Add documentation for all the above options to the manual (unless the
option itself becomes obsolete and gets removed instead). Don't add
new options without being sure to add documentation at the same time.
