richard.barton.arm added a comment. I think the right long-term solution is going to be SUGGESTION 2, or a variant of that. We have implemented this feature downstream in Arm Compiler for Linux, i.e. a separate, normally longer and more detailed, Doc string for the CommandLineReference.rst file from the --help string. Such a mechanism could perhaps be extended to add Clang- and/or Flang- specific doc strings or additional doc strings. That's a big piece of work, but very worthy IMO.
To unblock development today I would support Andrzej's SUGGESTION 1. Perhaps saying "For C++ input ..." to distinguish the Clang-only behaviour for now. In writing the above I double checked the Options.td to see if anything upstream exists today. There is a field DocBrief that appears to be preferred over HelpText in the ClangCommandLineReference.rst. Perhaps the new, more detailed but C++ specific message could be a DocBrief field, so for the ClangCommandLineReference.rst only and we can revert to the original shorter HelpText that applies for both C++ and Fortran? Perhaps that would actually be a better short-term compromise in that it meets @andreil99 's needs as well as Flangs immediate needs?
