[Bug other/14158] New: Typo in G++ manual

[rrt at sc3d dot org]

Typo in G++ manual C++ Dialect Options: "Names of template functions
whose types involve `typename' or template template parameters can be
mangled incorrectly".

Fix is to change "template template parameters" to "template parameters".

What would be the evidence that the mangling bug affects all the template 
parameters and not only template template parameters?

Sorry, I think I've misunderstood. I thought that "template template parameters" 
was a typo for "template parameters". It might be worth putting a [sic] in after 
the phrase.

"[sic]" means you're quoting something which contains an obvious
error, but you chose not to correct it to keep the quote intact. Since
we have neither a quote here nor an obvious error, "[sic]" doesn't
seem particularly appropriate.

We've dozen of references to template template parameters everywhere, so I 
don't think it's worth putting a [sic] everywhere. I would like to think we 
don't have such typos in places where the error would actually make it mean 
another thing.

"[sic]" can also be used to indicate that you really *meant* something (as 
opposed to you're just quoting an error). Makes sense if you think about the 
Latin. But given that you talk about "template templates" a lot, forget it. I 
just wondered through this bit of the docs, and don't regularly use C++. Sorry 
for the noise.
