Bug ID: 58973
Summary: Small english manpage grammar fixes
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: culu.gyx at gmail dot com
Hello,
As seen in 2925 / 2930 of ./gcc/doc/invoke.texi (among other places):
The phrase "Make all warnings into errors." could be better said as
"Turn all warnings into errors." or similar. The phrasing seems a skitch
awkward.
(The same applies to documents in 4.7, 4.6, 4.4, maybe other branches, too.)
The original bug report is at:
