[Bug c++/32614] New: -fmessage-length documentation and implementation disagree

[tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org]

doc/invoke.texi says:

Try to format error messages so that they fit on lines of about @var{n}
characters.  The default is 72 characters for @command{g++} and 0 for the rest
of
the front ends supported by [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, cp/cxx-pretty-print.c seems to set the default to 0:

  pp_set_line_maximum_length (pp, 0);

See this thread:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-03/msg01948.html

There is some disagreement as to whether this is a documentation bug
or a code bug.
