Attached is a patch to remove the hyphen from uses of side-effect in the manual as per the comment in: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-04/msg00021.html Although both forms are common, "side effect" (without the hyphen) is more prevalent in current English and I think it's better to be consistent than to have to rehash this question each time someone happens to copy the less common form from existing text. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/889/when-should-compound-words-be-written-as-one-word-with-hyphens-or-with-spaces Martin
