I think this has to be fixed at the documentation level (unless the optimizer
is able to report that a temporary has been removed). Presently the manual
says:
> -Warray-temporaries
> Warn about array temporaries generated by the compiler.
> The information generated by this warning is sometimes useful
> in optimization, in order to avoid such temporaries.
What about replacing the first sentence with "Warn about array temporaries
generated by the front-end" (if front-end is found too geek speak, one could
use "by the early stage of the compiler" or whatever is deemed suitable). Then
one could add a sentence of the kind "Note that some optimizing stage can
silently remove the temporary if it can prove it is not necessary." (again
translation from Frenglish to plain English welcomed).
