Can you give an example? Well, for example, as you'll see in SimplCore, the -O1 pipeline runs the float-out twice. So just saying float-out is on doesn't tell you all you might want to know. It might be worth translating SimplCore.getCoreToDo into English and putting it in the manual as a rough idea. But maybe that is too much, I'm not sure. (eg it would get out of date) Perhaps just listing what is on by default in -O1 and -O2 would get a long way.

Post freeze Austin has to do merging work Right. I'll do my best to finish this ASAP. Jan ___ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs

Jan, you said you'd be willing to do this updating before 7.10 Yes, that's the plan. The question is do I have to make it before the mid-November feature freeze? Austin, what's your opinion? So far as I can see, there simply is no list of what is enabled by -O or -O2. I can make such a list if you want. It's more than a simple on/off thing because the order matters. Hmm in which cases does it matter? Can you give an example? Janek ___ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
Re: [GHC] #9358: Improve flag description in the user guide
For updating the users guide, no, I don't think hitting the freeze is really necessary. We're mostly worried about big features as opposed to big documentation upgrades. So do please take your time and let me know what to merge if you don't get it done by then.
