By Stroustrup's beard, that flag must die.

Any chance of deprecating it in 3.4.1 and nuclearating it outright in
3.5.0/4.0.0?  Please?

Given that 3.4 already requires most significant changes to code old
enough to require -fno-for-scope, I'm strongly in favor of that.

I'd be happy for g++ to dump -fno-for-scope.  I regret that we haven't
already done it.

I'm of that opinion too.

I'll approve a patch to remove -fno-for-scope.  Not pre-approve, though; 
just approve: when you're done, copy me on it, and I'll review it.

Just be sure to get all the bits out if you can...

[C++] Deprecating -fno-for-scope for 3.5.0

[Andrew Pinski]

It has been a long time since this option was added to support old ARM 
C++ code.
I think it is time to remove it, people had a large amount of time to 
fix their
code.  This option has been here since 2.7.1 which was back in 1995 so 
almost
ten years.  We only get one or two bug reports about this flag and 
libstdc++ per
release which I think is a maintainer burden.

Does anyone have any objections?

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
