Bug ID: 87353
Summary: gcc man page formatting issue due to leading spaces in
.texi contents
Product: gcc
Version: 9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: vincent-gcc at vinc17 dot net
Target Milestone: ---
The gcc(1) man page (gcc.1) shows as:
Therefore, the G++ and driver automatically adds -shared-libgcc
whenever you build a shared library or a main executable, because
C++
programs typically use exceptions, so this is the right thing to
do.
This is due to gcc/doc/invoke.texi containing leading spaces:
Therefore, the G++ and driver automatically adds @option{-shared-libgcc}
whenever you build a shared library or a main executable, because C++
programs typically use exceptions, so this is the right thing to do.
Removing these spaces should solve the problem (I haven't checked other parts
of the manual), but AFAIK, such spaces are valid and do not yield any issue in
generated .info files. Thus the real bug could be in conversion utilities
(contrib/texi2pod.pl, provided by GCC, or pod2man).
