Bug ID: 110847
Summary: Inaccurate GCC documentation about -Wtsan and
-Wxor-used-as-pow warnings
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
URL: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.htm
l
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: documentation
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: rogerio.souza at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
On GCC online docs warnings page
(https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html) there is the
following explanation:
"You can request many specific warnings with options beginning with ‘-W’, for
example -Wimplicit to request warnings on implicit declarations. Each of these
specific warning options also has a negative form beginning ‘-Wno-’ to turn off
warnings; for example, -Wno-implicit. >>>This manual lists only one of the two
forms, whichever is not the default<<<"
However both -Wtsan and -Wxor-used-as-pow are listed as if they weren't on by
default, but have the "This warning is enabled by default" text on their
description. If the text above states that the documentation lists only one of
the two forms, whichever is not the default, then it might be missleading.
Regards,
Rogerio
