Bug ID: 80182 Summary: gcc -lm -o Product: gcc Version: 5.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: nikhil.pinnaparaju at research dot iiit.ac.in Target Milestone: --- When using the command "gcc -lm -o <filename.c>". When trying to link math, using that combination of flags caused me to lose several hours of work on code which is really frustrating. Additionally i had thought the file could have been sent to the trash bin or made hidden but it was no where to be found.
