You're missing the documentation for the new hooks again...


+@deftypefn {Target Hook} tree TARGET_CXX_GET_COOKIE_SIZE (tree @var{type})
+This hook returns the size of the cookie to use when allocating an array

+known that a cookie is needed.  The default is
+@code{max(sizeof (size_t), alignof(type))}.
+@end deftypefn

It would be useful to expand on this to at minimum point the reader to further information about these 'cookies' so that they can determine whether or not they need to define this target hook.
