[Bug c/35489] Inaccurate GCC documentation




------- Comment #3 from manu at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-03-10 00:37 -------
@Adam,

If you think that something is wrong in the documentation, please point out
exactly which text should be removed and what should be added. Also, feel free
to submit a documentation patch: http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#docchanges
A patch would certainly help to clarify why you think the current doc is wrong
and what you think should be the correct wording.

As for GCC issues with fp precision, it is an ongoing debate. It is not crystal
clear which optimizations (if any) GCC should avoid for the sake of precision. 

The main sources of info right now are:

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FP_BOF
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Math_Optimization_Flags
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GeertBosch

If after reading those, you think that you can contribute something new or you
still think that some issue should be revisited, then submit an email to the
gcc@gcc.gnu.org list. Please, focus on a particular issue, with examples and
reasoning. As always, patches and testcases would further help your cause.

Thanks.
