Bug ID: 58200 Summary: Option fcheck is misleadingly located in option descriptions Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: nmm1 at cam dot ac.uk I am not sure whether this should be against fortran or web. Using: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/ With most portable compilers, code generation options are traditionally used for variations in the target interface, and not to introduce functionality. Worse, the top-level entry says: 2.9 Options for code generation conventions When looking for run-time checking/debugging options, the obvious place is: 2.5 Options for debugging your program or GNU Fortran followed by: 2.8 Influencing runtime behavior But fcheck is in the 2.9! The simplest solution would be an extra paragraph in 2.5 saying that, for run-time checking options, see 2.9.
