I don't care about leaving the old name for the check (probably, better to remove it right away), but leaving the old documentation page with a proper redirect seems useful as a means to resolve users' confusion. I wouldn't call it "alias" in this case though, and including it to the list doesn't seem to be useful (so the document will need to be marked orphan, IIUC). https://reviews.llvm.org/D26511 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
