           Summary: gcc-4.6/changes.html wrongly describes
                    -W(no-)long-double
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: web
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: zsojka@seznam.cz


http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/changes.html states:

A new warning, enabled by -Wno-double-promotion, has been added that warns
about cases where a value of type float is implicitly promoted to double. This
is especially helpful for CPUs that handle the former in hardware, but emulate
the latter in software.

According to man pages and observed behaviour, the warning is enabled by
-Wdouble-promotion (the "no-" should be removed)
