While working on the review from https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2024-September/663418.html . I noticed that there are places which use `side effects` and some use `side-effects`. I assume we should follow a similar pattern as `back-end` vs `back end`. That is `side effect` when used as a noun and `side-effect` when used as an adjective (though I am not sure how it would be used as an adjective).
Though we currently use both versions as nouns and almost evenly used in just the sources: apinski@xeond:~/src/upstream-gcc/gcc/gcc$ git grep "side effect" *.cc|wc -l 176 apinski@xeond:~/src/upstream-gcc/gcc/gcc$ git grep "side-effect" *.cc|wc -l 167 Note for my patch I am just going to use `side effect` when used as a noun. Thanks, Andrew
