Hi!
The following patch
1) mentions (partial) OpenMP 5.0 support and __builtin_convertvector in
c-family section of gcc-9/changes.html
2) mentions C++2a progress in similar way how we've done it in
gcc-8/changes.html (the list doesn't include all features, feel free
to suggest what should go out of that list or be added and with what
wording, some of the cxx-status.html feature names don't look usable
in the list to me
3) lists std::is_constant_evaluated as implemented in cxx-status.html
4) adds beginning of gcc-9/porting_to.html , so far just mentions there
the lifetime of automatic compound literals
Ok for wwwdocs?

+<h1>Porting to GCC 9</h1>
+
+<p>
+The GCC 9 release series differs from previous GCC releases in
+<a href="changes.html">a number of ways</a>. Some of these are a result
+of bug fixing, and some old behaviors have been intentionally changed
+to support new standards, or relaxed in standards-conforming ways to
+facilitate compilation or run-time performance.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some of these changes are user visible and can cause grief when
+porting to GCC 9. This document is an effort to identify common issues
+and provide solutions. Let us know if you have suggestions for improvements!
+</p>

+<h2 id="c">C language issues</h2>
+
+<h3 id="complit">Block scope compound literal's lifetime</h3>
+
+<p>
+ The C standard says that compound literals which occur inside of the body
+ of a function have automatic storage duration associated with the
+ enclosing block. Older GCC releases were putting such compound literals
+ into the scope of the whole function, so their lifetime actually ended
+ at the end of containing function. This has been fixed in GCC 9.
+ Code that relied on this extended lifetime needs to be fixed, move the
+ compound literals to whatever scope they need to accessible in.
+</p>
+ <pre><code>
+ struct S { int a, b; };
+ int foo(void) {
+ // The following line no longer compiles
+ struct S *p = &({ (struct S) { 1, 2 }; });
+ struct S *q;
+ {
+ q = &(struct S) { 3, 4 };
+ }
+ // This is invalid use after lifetime of the compound literal
+ // ended.
+ return q->b;
+ }
+ </code></pre>

OK. We need a place to start dumping this stuff, even if we do heavy
editing later.
