Summary: x86 -mtune docs still imply i386 is the default for
codegen
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: documentation
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: redi@gcc.gnu.org
Target: i386-*
At http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html the docs
for -mtune still say:
"the compiler will not generate any code that does not run on the i386 without
the -march=cpu-type option being used."
Now that the default -march is implied by the target it's likely that generated
code will not run on i386 even when there is no -march used on the command line
or --with-arch used in the configure command.
The manual should be changed to make that clear. Maybe something like:
"the compiler will not generate any code that does not run on the default
target architecture without the -march=cpu-type option being used (where the
default target arch is determined from the target triplet e.g.
i686-pc-linux-gnu)."
