Bug ID: 66037
Summary: [docs] what is the difference between global_options
and global_options_set?
Product: gcc
Version: 6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: ktkachov at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
I'm working on something that touches the target option override code and I
notice the i386 and rs6000 targets check and set fields in the global_options
and global_options_set structures, but I can't figure out from the
documentation what is the difference.
Is it that global_options_set are the options explicitly set by the user?
What is it's relationship to global_options? is one derived from the other?
Can the target change values in global_options_set?
Would be nice if these variables at least were documented in options.texi
