Bug ID: 58974
Summary: document bug: texi2pod.pl
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: culu.gyx at gmail dot com
texi2pod.pl should have a graceful treatment of @xref{}.
Below is the original description, as seen on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.7/+bug/1069550
and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693992
In the man(ual) page for gcc-4.7 (i.e., man gcc-4.7, and 4.8, 4.6, ...) the
description for the Transactional Memory switch (-fgnu-tm) is missing some
text. It reads:
-fgnu-tm
When the option -fgnu-tm is specified, the compiler will generate
code for the Linux variant
of Intel's current Transactional Memory ABI specification document
(Revision 1.1, May 6 2009).
This is an experimental feature whose interface may change in future
versions of GCC, as the
official specification changes. Please note that not all
architectures are supported for this
feature.
For more information on GCC's support for transactional memory,
Note that the transactional memory feature is not supported with
non-call exceptions
(-fnon-call-exceptions).
Notice that on the second paragraph, it says "For more information on GCC's
support for transactional memory," but it never finishes that sentence, nor
does it include the reference to where one can find more info on GCC's suport
for Transactional Memory.

GUO Yixuan
