Bug ID: 79719
Summary: gcc --vers still outputs command line should be
checked
Product: gcc
Version: 5.4.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: jg at jguk dot org
Target Milestone: ---
I noticed that a few command line arguments still work, even if incomplete.
Surely these should be rejected?
Sorry my compiler is not the latest, could someone verify with latest please.
