NAME

gccbug - Reporting GCC Bugs

SYNOPSIS

gccbug [ --cc mail-address ] [ --version ] | [ --help ]

DESCRIPTION

gccbug is a version of \s-1GNU\s0 \s-1GNATS\s0 send-pr configured for \s-1GCC\s0 bug reporting.
Invoking gccbug calls the editor named in your environment variable \s-1VISUAL\s0 or \s-1EDITOR\s0 on a problem report template.
Your bug reports play an essential role in making \s-1GCC\s0 reliable. However since the maintainers are very overloaded, please first make sure that:
"" The problem is not already known. See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#known> for a list of known bugs. If it isn't known, then you should report the problem. You can browse the bug database for bugs reported at <http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl>.
"" You include the information that makes for fixing the bug. See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#report> for bug reporting instructions.

OPTIONS

"--cc Specifies the mail-address to which the \s-1PR\s0 should be carbon-copied.
"--version" Displays the gccbug version number and a usage summary. No mail is sent.
"--help" Displays a usage summary for gccbug. No mail is sent.
gccbug has more (undocumented) options, which may be unsupported by a future \s-1GCC\s0 bug tracking system.
