Reporting gcc bugs

Usage

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

Overview

gccbug is a version of GNU GNATS send-pr configured for GCC bug reporting.

Invoking gccbug calls the editor named in your environment variable VISUAL or EDITOR on a problem report template.

Your bug reports play an essential role in making GCC 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 mail-address

--version

--help
