Subject: [PATCH] doc: Clarification for -Wmissing-field-initializers
Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2023 13:57:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230608175709.462490-1-polacek@redhat.com> (raw)
The manual is incorrect in saying that the option does not warn
about designated initializers, which it does in C++. Whether the
divergence in behavior is desirable is another thing, but let's
at least make the manual match the reality.

gcc/ChangeLog:
* doc/invoke.texi: Clarify that -Wmissing-field-initializers doesn't
warn about designated initializers in C only.
