Undocumenting unsupported flags
- To: gcc-patches at gcc dot gnu dot org
- Subject: Undocumenting unsupported flags

- Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 08:03:52 +0200
I just installed this patch, which primarily removes documentation for
flags that do not work anymore from gcc.1 and invoke.texi.
Regards,
Martin
2000-04-11 Martin v. Löwis <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>
* extend.texi (-fthis-is-variable): Undocument.
* flags.h (warn_template_debugging): Remove declaration.
* gcc.1 (-fall-virtual, -fenum-int-equiv, -fthis-is-variable,
-Wenum-clash, -Wtemplate-debugging): Undocument.
* cp/tree.h (HAVE_TEMPLATES): Remove definition.
* cp/lang-options.h (-fthis-is-variable): Remove documentation.
