Sections 4.20 (Flag reference) and 4.10.2 (-f*: platform-independent
flags) of the User Guide could use some updating:
- `-floopification` is mentioned in 4.20 but not in 4.10.2 (which,
sadly, is my fault),
- Section 4.10.2 says: "These flags turn on and off individual
optimisations. They are normally set via the -O options (...) The flags
below are off by default, except where noted below." Does the last
sentence mean they are on by default for `-O` or that they are enabled
even with `-O0` (which is the default optimisation level)?
- What is the default value of `-fmax-simplifier-iterations`?
- 4.20 mentions `-fmax-simplifier-iterations`, `-fmax-relevant-bindings`
and `-fmax-worker-args` but only the first one is described in 4.10.2
I suspect there are more inconsistencies.
