I haven't said that. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I meant that
the gcc implementation lies about C standard comformance, and
showed an example. Concerning the documentation, I'll put that
on my todo list (now that I know a little more about what gcc
does and when). You can see I've already posted comments on the
documentation:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14708
But I'm not a GCC developer and doesn't know the GCC internals
(I can just see the effects). So, producing a correct documentation
could be a bit difficult for me.
