[Bug web/54124] New: Web-based GCC 4.7.1 manual seems to have a section corrupted
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54124 Bug #: 54124 Summary: Web-based GCC 4.7.1 manual seems to have a section corrupted Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: web AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ksc...@eznet.net I was looking for a description of the -dM option. Currently, I'm able to find it using "info" on the old version of gcc that's installed at my workplace; the problem is that the current online HTML manual for v4.7.1 appears as if part of section 3.11 (options controlling the preprocessor) has been overwritten with other text about options that control warnings. As a result, the -dM option, which belongs in that section, seems to be missing from the HTML manual.

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54124 --- Comment #2 from Kevin Scott 2012-07-30 02:40:29 UTC --- Now that you mention it, I looked again, and it in fact is there, in the gcc manual. The problem was that, on my prior readings, I instinctively ignored the entire '-dCHARS' section, as it didn't seem like the thing I was looking for. So it might be a little clearer to include the '-d' with each of the five suboptions.

Feel free to either edit the manual(s) or defer or close, as you see fit.
[Bug web/54124] GCC 4.7.1 manual: -dM and similar options hard to find

Here is what the section looked like in that version: `-dM' Tell the preprocessor to output only a list of the macro definitions that are in effect at the end of preprocessing. Used with the `-E' option. `-dD' Tell the preprocessing to pass all macro definitions into the output, in their proper sequence in the rest of the output. `-dN' Like `-dD' except that the macro arguments and contents are omitted. Only `#define NAME' is included in the output. `-dI' Output `#include' directives in addition to the result of preprocessing. Having the "-d" with each option makes it more immediately apparent what they are, and thus easier to find visually. I don't doubt that the HTML and current info are the same. I've adjusted the title to describe the issue better.
