I am agreed in principle with a patch that simultaneously adds -iquote
and removes -I- entirely (make it issue an error).
The -iquote has been submitted. The removal of -I- is logically
separable from it, so our normal style would be to submit two patches.
I don't want the issues coupled, if people still want -I-, I still want
-iquote. If the change to remove -iquote has to be reversed to put it
back in, I don't want -iquote to come out. The removal of -I- we know
what it would look like, so there isn't much to gain from seeing it.
If I put my name on those patches, I'd rather turn it into a warning
for 2 releases, then remove it. The warning would look like:
+ inform ("-I- is slated to be removed in gcc 3.7");
so there isn't much to decide, except if we want to do that. If you
want to pre-approve the concept of removing it, independently, I'd be
happy to remove that feature for you (I'll do the work and put your
name on it), just let me know.
