- Subject: [Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>] Documenting GCC 4.2 changes
Now that the gcc 4.2 release is getting closer, I am resending this
e-mail from Martin Michlmayr. I've removed options which I believe
are sufficiently internal to not require mention in the changes file,
and I've removed options which are now documented there.
Many of our users only discover new options and capabilities because
of the changes files. It behooves us to let people know about the new
features we have developed. Otherwise, many people will not know
about them and will not use them. I don't mean to imply that every
option on this list must be mentioned in the changes files. There are
reasonable choices to be made. But these options should all be
considered for mention.
Martin, thanks for sending the original list.

Subject: Documenting GCC 4.2 changes
I went through the ChangeLog (2006 only so far) to identify command
line options that should be documented in the GCC 4.2 changes page at
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2/changes.html
It would be nice if people listed below could submit patches for the
command line options they added/removed during the GCC 4.2 cycle. I'm
not sure how important it is to document options mostly aimed at GCC
developers, but it would be great if at least changes to common user
options could be documented.
