            Bug ID: 114082
           Summary: Guidelines for options are empty
           Product: gcc
           Version: 14.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: documentation
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: preprocessor
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: roland.illig at gmx dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Guidelines-for-Options.html

The section is empty, and it has been so since its creation in 2018.

When I saw that section, I wasn't sure whether this was a technical error on
the web server (unlikely but still possible) or in the .texi processing.

Since the section has been missing since 2018, it may be better to remove it
completely. Or, alternatively, write down the most common consensus, to be
amended later.

--- Comment #1 from Roland Illig <roland.illig at gmx dot de> ---
If you decide to keep the guidelines, here are a few ideas:

* Use the simplest English you can, while still being precise.
* Don't try to be funny. (See #114083 for a possible case)

No it is empty in ux.texi:
```

@section Guidelines for Options
@cindex command-line options, guidelines for
@cindex options, guidelines for
@cindex guidelines for options

@c TODO

Can we simply comment the entire section?
