[GHC] #12084: ghc --help suggests -auto-all instead of -fprof-auto

I assume this means that GHC >= 7.4.1 should not mention -auto-all, and that -fprof-auto should be suggested instead. {{{ $ ghc --help ... -prof Compile for cost-centre profiling (add -auto-all for automagic cost-centres on all top-level functions) ... }}} [=#r1 [1]] https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/profiling.ht... -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12084 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Should the message suggest also that -auto-all is deprecated ? If it is so, maybe ghc should emit a warning message if -auto-all is used. The latest docs don't mention the -auto-all flag [1]. Older docs on the other hand describe it in the same terms as the newer -fprof-auto flag.[2] [1] https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.2-latest/docs/html/users_guide /prof-compiler-options.html [2] https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/prof- compiler-options.html -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12084#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
