Several options reported by --help=optimize are not documented in the
GCC Manual (via invoke.texi) but are still reported with
--help=optimize,^undocumented. Here are the options along with the
people who checked in the entries to common.opt:
-fipa-cp steven
-fipa-matrix-reorg razya
-fipa-pure-const zadeck (enabled with -O)
-fipa-reference zadeck (enabled with -O)
-fipa-type-escape zadeck
-fvar-tracking-uninit ctice
Is there a policy about whether an experimental option can be left
undocumented, or should it be documented with a statement that it is
experimental?
If an option is left undocumented on purpose then its entry in common.opt
should include "Undocumented".
