displaying static pass numbers on rare verbose execution...

[Basile Starynkevitch]

Hello All,

I would believe it would help a lot newbie GCC developers (and plugin
writers) if the small message displaying pass names on [rare]
non-quiet runs would also give the static pass number, since the
static pass number determinate the dump file, and since these numbers
are not chronological [i.e. in the order of pass runs]

We added some documentation about that numbering 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-11/msg02462.html



I find not easy (and so do some GCC MELT users) to understand the
actual ordering of passes without such information.

Notice that this cannot change the behavior of GCC w.r.t. code
generation, and this only impacts the very few verbose runs of GCC.
