Dear maintainers,
Having come across https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61414
(bug #61414) quite often myself I decided I wanted to fix it.
By reading through parts of the GCC internals manual I have
managed to add a warning flag, the code for which I will submit to
gcc-patches, but since this is my first time contributing to GCC I have
some questions.
1. When it comes to the patch, should I post it to the bug tracker
before sending it to gcc-patches?
2. A better fix for this bug would be to only warn when the number
of defined enumerators would not fit inside a bitfield of the
specified size. Seeing as I don't know the GCC internals very
well, I'm wondering if anyone could point me in the right
direction when it comes to getting the number of defined
enumerators in an enum type.
3. When it comes to documentation and tests, I've documented the
flag in doc/invoke.texi and will add a test in the test suite,
hopefully when the patch includes the check specified in 2. Are
there are any other places I should add documentation?
Thank you in advance,
Sam
