            Bug ID: 116050
           Summary: Passing invalid option to gcc with --version results
                    in exit status of 0
           Product: gcc
           Version: 15.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: driver
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: prathamesh3492 at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Hi,
gcc -foo results in following error:
error: unrecognized command-line option '-foo'
and results in exit status of 1.

However,
gcc -foo --version
prints above error message followed by version info and results in exit status
of 0.

I was wondering if it's a bug to have exit status of 0 for
gcc <invalid opt> --version or is that intentional ?

Thanks,
Prathamesh
