It's just not relevant for the documentation of what the GNU general recommendation is.

There are examples that some consider improper, and that's what started the conversation and brought me here. On Feb 7, 2018, [email protected] (Alfred M.

So far, what has become clear is that there is disagreement as to at least one of the cases, and that one happens to be the very contentious point in the GCC community, which suggests to me we could use clarification in the GNU standard. Now, given that there is disagreement even here, I wonder if this is the proper forum to determine what the fix to the recommendation should be. Should I take it elsewhere, or is this the right forum to debate what the GNU general recommendation should be?
