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.
[...]
There are also some option changes in the Fortran front end, not
mentioned on the list that I snipped, which should also be considered
for adding to http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2/changes.html. (A couple of
these -- frange-check and Wampersand -- appear to have been backported
to 4.1 as well; I'm not sure where they should be mentioned.)
As was requested in Ian's original email, could the people who added
these options submit brief patches documenting them in the changes.html
file? Or alternately post a sentence or two in reply to this describing
them, and I'll collate all that and post a combined patch.
Thanks!
