Bug#296047: gcc-3.3: grammer confusing in gcc(1): -finline-limit=n



Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.5-8
Severity: minor

The manpage gcc.1 under -finline-limit=n says:

	Note: pseudo instruction represents, in this
	particular context, an abstract measurement of
	function's size.  In no way, it represents a count of
	assembly instructions and as such its exact meaning
	might change from one release to an another.

I think it should say either "In no way does it represent.."
or "In a way, it represents..".

This bug holds for my gcc-3.4 manpage too.
