Bug ID: 58200
Summary: Option fcheck is misleadingly located in option
descriptions
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: fortran
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: nmm1 at cam dot ac.uk
I am not sure whether this should be against fortran or web. Using:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/
With most portable compilers, code generation options are traditionally
used for variations in the target interface, and not to introduce
functionality. Worse, the top-level entry says:
2.9 Options for code generation conventions
When looking for run-time checking/debugging options, the obvious place
is:
2.5 Options for debugging your program or GNU Fortran
followed by:
2.8 Influencing runtime behavior
But fcheck is in the 2.9! The simplest solution would be an extra
paragraph in 2.5 saying that, for run-time checking options, see 2.9.
