Do you also plan to add a note to gcc-7/changes.html?  I think that
would make sense.

I see, I suppose we should be consistent, I will commit the following,

I'd just remove the whole documentation about -fipa-cp-alignment, I think
that is what we do for other removed options.
Or at least say and is now ignored. rather than deprecated, to make it clear
how we handle it (not at all).
Ok with either of those changes.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction, I have added a second
space after the dot and changed the patch to the one below.

It has passed bootstrap, testing and I have also tested with make
info.  OK for trunk?

I double programs are going on -fno-ipa-alignment for longer term - it would be 
very fragile
because inlining and other transformations could do the same.
I would just ignore it and mention that it no longer has effect  in 
changes.html (in entry decsribing
-fipa-bit-cp).

[PATCH] Properly deprecate -fipa-cp-alignment

[Martin Jambor]

Hi,

the patch below is my attempt at properly deprecating switch
-fipa-cp-alignment.  I have not found any clear example to follow but
hopefully I have not missed anything.  If so, please let me know.

So far I have only tested this with a normal build and "make info" but
I will give it a proper bootstrap before committing if ACKed.  OK for
trunk as it is?

Thanks,

Martin
