I don't known where to modify the gcc code to add an option.
The XHTML format to fputs is a little bad.
There are examples to test too.
The idea is to filter the output stream.
I think it makes a lot more sense to implement this as a standalone
filter for the output stream, which takes the files that contain the
current dump-tree output and converts it to HTML. You don't lose any
functionality by doing that, and there's no compelling reason for adding
the extra complexity to the tree-dumpers themselves if we don't need to.
Certainly it can be a useful idea to have more ways of viewing the dump
files than just reading the plaintext in a text editor, but it seems
more sensible to me to consider the plaintext-to-HTML conversion as an
aspect of a standalone "viewer" system, rather than as an aspect of the
compiler.
