--- Comment #5 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
>* some parameter descriptions still contain redundant comments. I complained about this one year ago in #79632, but nothing has happened since then.

That was fixed in GCC 10 when they were moved to param.opt.


To expand on this part here:
> params should be considered as internal options which only should be used for debugging and not even documented in the normal documentation.

The documentation in invoke.texi has the following:
```
@item --param @var{name}=@var{value}
@opindex param
In some places, GCC uses various constants to control the amount of
optimization that is done.  For example, GCC does not inline functions
that contain more than a certain number of instructions.  You can
control some of these constants on the command line using the
@option{--param} option.

The names of specific parameters, and the meaning of the values, are
tied to the internals of the compiler, and are subject to change
without notice in future releases.
```

Now saying that, the descriptions in params.opt could use improvements as I
mentioned before so confirmed.
