The problem with you is that you do not read what other people write.
It is not only the "documentation" of gcc that ypu haven't read.

I explained in my post why that web page can't be classified as 
documentation by taking one of the chapters ("Parsing") and counting the 
bytes that make the explanation text. If you leave out the BUGS or TO DO 
items, that leaves us with 1256 bytes of text.

That is peerfectly clear to anyone that read what I wrote. But you (as 
always) just

[snip]

anything substantive from the other guy's posts to leave the caricature
of other people's thoughts.

Read my post before complaining dude.

Yes, and I reached my own. But (as always) you are unable to bring 
anyrthing substantive to the discussion and limit yourself to pointing 
to documents you haven't even READ.

My counsel is that you should READ the links you send before posting 
them here.

OK. Then we agree.

Yeah. To see the problem you should reflect about how do you participate 
here, but I am afraid that is way beyond what you are able to do.
