--- Comment #3 from sandra at gcc dot gnu.org ---
I think the right thing to do here is update the coding conventions. I've been
using standard English rules for the adjective: hyphenated as an adjective
phrase before the noun it modifies ("built-in function"), not hyphenated after
the noun ("function X is built in to GCC"). But for the noun, "builtin" seems
analogous to "runtime". In any case the noun usage "builtin" is already
everywhere in the manual and it seems to me that replacing it with "built-in
function" would add verbosity without making the documentation any easier to
parse.
