Hi,
I had a need to add a new type of informative message on the modules
branch, with an option to enable it. The message is not a warning or an
error, but just 'hey, you asked if X happens. It happens just here'.
This is emitted as a note. I chose -fnote-$NAME for the option, but
that wasn't a very satisfactory solution.
I have learnt that clang has -R$NAME options for exactly this kind of
informative note. Presumably with -Rno-$NAME negation.
Presumably we could also use this for optimization notes -- 'I failed to
vectorize this loop because ...'
thoughts?
We have -fopt-info-X-Y for this.
ah, thanks.
Perhaps -f<SOMETHING-FRONTENDY>-info-$NAME?
-flang-info-$NAME?
