[Bug fortran/58200] New: Option fcheck is misleadingly located in option descriptions


http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58200

            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.
