#8190: mention --show-options in --help -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: carter | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #7843 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by jstolarek): * related: => #7843 Comment: I'm not convinced that we should do this. `--show-options` currently displays 743 flags - will this enormous list be helpful for a person that's trying to get a flag right? Other than that, `--show-options` is documented in user manual. But this brought my attention to another issue with the help message. We are mentioning `-fglasgow-exts` flag in the help message, but that flag actually is deprecated and generates a warning. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8190#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
