This patch consolidates the documentation of GCC options that add runtime
profiling, error checking, or other instrumentation into a single section.
Currently these are scattered all over, variously classified as debugging
options, code generation options, optimization options, etc.
Here is the list of options that I moved into the new section:
@gccoptlist{-p -pg -fprofile-arcs --coverage -ftest-coverage @gol
(snip)
The list mentions "-fchecking", but this option is not related to
instrumentation. In just enables consistency checks of the compiler's
internal state, i.e. it is more related to debugging GCC itself.
Yes, you're right -- I was confused by it being buried in the middle of
the pointer bounds checking options. :-( I'll move it back to its
previous category.
