Yes, that would be better. Meanwhile, in the real world, volunteers to get us closer to the ideal world are always welcome. It doesn't have to be you, of course. > If I did the documentation, it'd be > inaccurate. Features without documentation are kind of pointless to > the rest of us. Intel provides documentation. I don't think that documentation should be replicated in the gcc documentation. What we need in the gcc documentation is some hint that the Intel documentation is relevant, and the removal of the inaccurate existing documentation.
