Thanks for pointing this out. I've pushed the following patch to master for gcc 11, as b95d97f1a5f54f55c15bca65ec79b626b53cd40c: I removed the "Alpha" warning from the JIT wiki page on 2020-05-18: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/JIT?action=diff&rev1=47&rev2=48 but forgot to remove it from the documentation, which this patch does. gcc/jit/ChangeLog: * docs/cp/index.rst: Remove "Alpha" warning. * docs/index.rst: Likewise. --- gcc/jit/docs/cp/index.rst | 4 ---- gcc/jit/docs/index.rst | 4 ---- 2 files changed, 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/gcc/jit/docs/cp/index.rst b/gcc/jit/docs/cp/index.rst index 254ad59819e..3bffc98a3de 100644 --- a/gcc/jit/docs/cp/index.rst +++ b/gcc/jit/docs/cp/index.rst @@ -28,10 +28,6 @@ This is a collection of "thin" wrapper classes around the C API.
