If you think you may have found a bug in GCC, please
|

|
|
|
read the Bugs section of the GCC manual for advice on
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) how to tell when to report a bug,
|
|
|
|
|
(2) where to send your bug report, and

|
|
(3) how to write a useful bug report and what information
|

it needs to have.

|
|
|
There are three ways to read the Bugs section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) In a printed copy of the GCC manual. You can order one from the
|
|
|
|
|
Free Software Foundation; see the file ORDERS. But if you don't have
|
|
|
|
|
a copy on hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
|
|
|
|
|
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away as
|
|
|
|
|
described below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2) With Info. Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
|
|
|
|
|
then m gcc RET to get to the GCC manual, then m Bugs RET
|
|
|
|
|
to get to the section on bugs. Or use standalone Info in
|
|
|
|
|
a like manner. (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3) By hand. Search for the chapter "Reporting Bugs" in gcc.texi, or
|

|
|
|
cat /usr/local/info/gcc* | more "+/^File: gcc.info, Node: Bugs,"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may also want to take a look at the GCC FAQ, in which there are
|
|
|
|
|
additional instructions for submitting bug reports:
