           Summary: Additional "stop after" stage for C cache usage
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: m.j.thayer@googlemail.com


This is a request for an additional option to gcc to make it stop at a point
later than the end of preprocessing but earlier than actual compilation which
might be useful for C cache hash generation.  I was thinking of a point at
which as much useless information (e.g. unused typedefs) as possible has been
discarded from the pre-processed output, but still not too much
processing-intensive work has been done.
