If it has not been documented, it is fine to remove it. It is clearly documented here: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.2.0/gcc/Machine-Constraints.html Whoever removed it in gcc 10 was aware of this because they explicitly deleted it from the documentation: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Machine-Constraints.html This should not be a permitted change, at least not without major discussion to reach consensus.
