Bug ID: 90127
Summary: Disable bugzilla [[wiki_links]] and don't confuse rNN
register names with rNNNNN svn revisions
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: web
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Currently [[this_text]] will link to https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/this_text which
is distracting when trying to talk about C++11-style attributes such as
[[noreturn]] and [[fallthrough]] e.g. see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86368
Either we should pick another syntax for wiki links, or just disable it. I
don't think anybody uses it.
Secondly, the shortcuts for svn revisions like r12345 also match register names
like r1, r12, r123 and that's also distracting. I suggest that it should only
link to an svn revision for 4 or more digits. GCC supports targets that have
register names with three digits, and I doubt there's any need to link to the
first 999 svn revisions.
