--- Comment #5 from sandra at gcc dot gnu.org ---
Given how bloated the GCC user manual is already (it takes almost 20 pages just
to *list* all the options), I'd prefer trimming all the dump-related option
documentation to something short and generic with a pointer to the GCC
internals manual for a full list of the pass names and what they do. Ordinary
users have little reason to use these options, and understanding the dump
output requires some familiarity with GCC internals anyway.
