+For each Objective-C class, check if any of its instance variables is a

+special @code{- (id) .cxx_construct} instance method that will run
+non-trivial default constructors on any such instance variables, in order,
+and then return @code{self}. Similarly, check if any instance variable
+is a C++ object with a non-trivial destructor, and if so, synthesize a
+special @code{- (void) .cxx_destruct} method that will run
+all such default destructors, in reverse order.
+
+The @code{- (id) .cxx_construct} and/or @code{- (void) .cxx_destruct} methods
+thusly generated will only operate on instance variables declared in the

+is the responsibility of the Objective-C runtime to invoke all such methods

@node Warning Options
If you want to warn about code which uses the uninitialized value of the
variable in its own initializer, use the @option{-Winit-self} option.
-These warnings occur only for variables that are candidates for
-register allocation. Therefore, they do not occur for a variable that
-is declared @code{volatile}, or whose address is taken, or whose size
-is other than 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes. Also, they do not occur for
-structures, unions or arrays, even when they are in registers.
+These warnings occur for individual uninitialized or clobbered
+elements of structure, union or array variables as well as for
+variables which are uninitialized or clobbered as a whole. They do
+not occur for variables or elements declared @code{volatile}. Because
+these warnings depend on optimization, the exact variables or elements
+for which there are warnings will depend on the precise optimization
+options and version of GCC used.
Note that there may be no warning about a variable that is used only
to compute a value that itself is never used, because such
called. (In languages where you can return an array, this also elicits
a warning.)
+@item -Wno-attributes
+@opindex Wno-attributes
+@opindex Wattributes
+Do not warn if an unexpected @code{__attribute__} is used, such as
+unrecognized attributes, function attributes applied to variables,
+etc. This will not stop errors for incorrect use of supported
+attributes.
+
@item -Wstrict-prototypes @r{(C only)}
@opindex Wstrict-prototypes
Warn if a function is declared or defined without specifying the
Usually they indicate a typo in the user's code, as they have
implementation-defined values, and should not be used in portable code.
+@item -Wnormalized=<none|id|nfc|nfkc>
+@opindex Wnormalized
+@cindex NFC
+@cindex NFKC
+@cindex character set, input normalization
+In ISO C and ISO C++, two identifiers are different if they are
+different sequences of characters. However, sometimes when characters
+outside the basic ASCII character set are used, you can have two
+different character sequences that look the same. To avoid confusion,
+the ISO 10646 standard sets out some @dfn{normalization rules} which
+when applied ensure that two sequences that look the same are turned into
+the same sequence. GCC can warn you if you are using identifiers which
+have not been normalized; this option controls that warning.
+
+There are four levels of warning that GCC supports. The default is
+@option{-Wnormalized=nfc}, which warns about any identifier which is
+not in the ISO 10646 ``C'' normalized form, @dfn{NFC}. NFC is the
+recommended form for most uses.
+
+Unfortunately, there are some characters which ISO C and ISO C++ allow
+in identifiers that when turned into NFC aren't allowable as
+identifiers. That is, there's no way to use these symbols in portable
+ISO C or C++ and have all your identifiers in NFC.
+@option{-Wnormalized=id} suppresses the warning for these characters.
+It is hoped that future versions of the standards involved will correct
+this, which is why this option is not the default.
+
+You can switch the warning off for all characters by writing
+@option{-Wnormalized=none}. You would only want to do this if you
+were using some other normalization scheme (like ``D''), because
+otherwise you can easily create bugs that are literally impossible to see.
+
+Some characters in ISO 10646 have distinct meanings but look identical
+in some fonts or display methodologies, especially once formatting has
+been applied. For instance @code{\u207F}, ``SUPERSCRIPT LATIN SMALL
+LETTER N'', will display just like a regular @code{n} which has been
+placed in a superscript. ISO 10646 defines the @dfn{NFKC}
+normalisation scheme to convert all these into a standard form as
+well, and GCC will warn if your code is not in NFKC if you use
+@option{-Wnormalized=nfkc}. This warning is comparable to warning
+about every identifier that contains the letter O because it might be
+confused with the digit 0, and so is not the default, but may be
+useful as a local coding convention if the programming environment is
+unable to be fixed to display these characters distinctly.

-the size of the function being inlined and the the amount of inlining
+the size of the function being inlined and the amount of inlining
that has already been done in the current function. Therefore,

of the C++ standard.

+one of: call, call2, fp, inv, inv:minlat, inv20u, inv20l, inv:call,
+inv:call2, inv:fp .
+"fp" performs the operation in floating point. This has a very high latency,
+but needs only a few instructions, so it might be a good choice if
+your code has enough easily exploitable ILP to allow the compiler to
+schedule the floating point instructions together with other instructions.
+Division by zero causes a floating point exception.
+"inv" uses integer operations to calculate the inverse of the divisor,
+and then multiplies the dividend with the inverse. This strategy allows
+cse and hoisting of the inverse calculation. Division by zero calculates
+an unspecified result, but does not trap.
+"inv:minlat" is a variant of "inv" where if no cse / hoisting opportunities
+have been found, or if the entire operation has been hoisted to the same
+place, the last stages of the inverse calculation are intertwined with the
+final multiply to reduce the overall latency, at the expense of using a few
+more instructions, and thus offering fewer scheduling opportunities with
+other code.
+"call" calls a library function that usually implements the inv:minlat
+strategy.
+This gives high code density for m5-*media-nofpu compilations.
+"call2" uses a different entry point of the same library function, where it
+assumes that a pointer to a lookup table has already been set up, which
+exposes the pointer load to cse / code hoisting optimizations.
+"inv:call", "inv:call2" and "inv:fp" all use the "inv" algorithm for initial
+code generation, but if the code stays unoptimized, revert to the "call",
+"call2", or "fp" strategies, respectively. Note that the
+potentially-trapping side effect of division by zero is carried by a
+separate instruction, so it is possible that all the integer instructions
+are hoisted out, but the marker for the side effect stays where it is.
+A recombination to fp operations or a call is not possible in that case.
+"inv20u" and "inv20l" are variants of the "inv:minlat" strategy. In the case
+that the inverse calculation was nor separated from the multiply, they speed
+up division where the dividend fits into 20 bits (plus sign where applicable),
+by inserting a test to skip a number of operations in this case; this test
+slows down the case of larger dividends. inv20u assumes the case of a such
+a small dividend to be unlikely, and inv20l assumes it to be likely.

+Set the name of the library function used for 32 bit signed division to

+Enable the use of the indexed addressing mode for SHmedia32/SHcompact.

+get 32 bit addressing, but since no current hardware implementation supports
+this or any other way to make the indexed addressing mode safe to use in
+the 32 bit ABI, the default is -mno-indexed-addressing.
+
+@item -mgettrcost=@var{number}
+@opindex mgettrcost=@var{number}
+Set the cost assumed for the gettr instruction to @var{number}.
+The default is 2 if @option{-mpt-fixed} is in effect, 100 otherwise.
+
+@item -mpt-fixed
+@opindex mpt-fixed
+Assume pt* instructions won't trap. This will generally generate better
+scheduled code, but is unsafe on current hardware. The current architecture
+definition says that ptabs and ptrel trap when the target anded with 3 is 3.
+This has the unintentional effect of making it unsafe to schedule ptabs /
+ptrel before a branch, or hoist it out of a loop. For example,
+__do_global_ctors, a part of libgcc that runs constructors at program
+startup, calls functions in a list which is delimited by -1. With the
+-mpt-fixed option, the ptabs will be done before testing against -1.
+That means that all the constructors will be run a bit quicker, but when
+the loop comes to the end of the list, the program crashes because ptabs
+loads -1 into a target register. Since this option is unsafe for any
+hardware implementing the current architecture specification, the default
+is -mno-pt-fixed. Unless the user specifies a specific cost with
+@option{-mgettrcost}, -mno-pt-fixed also implies @option{-mgettrcost=100};
+this deters register allocation using target registers for storing
+ordinary integers.
+
+@item -minvalid-symbols
+@opindex minvalid-symbols
+Assume symbols might be invalid. Ordinary function symbols generated by
+the compiler will always be valid to load with movi/shori/ptabs or
+movi/shori/ptrel, but with assembler and/or linker tricks it is possible
+to generate symbols that will cause ptabs / ptrel to trap.
+This option is only meaningful when @option{-mno-pt-fixed} is in effect.
+It will then prevent cross-basic-block cse, hoisting and most scheduling
+of symbol loads. The default is @option{-mno-invalid-symbols}.
