@c INTERNALS is used by md.texi to determine whether to include the
@c whole of that file, in the internals manual, or only the part
@c dealing with constraints, in the user manual.
@clear INTERNALS
@c NOTE: checks/things to do:
@c
@c -have bob do a search in all seven files for "mew" (ideally --mew,
@c but i may have forgotten the occasional "--"..).
@c Just checked... all have `--'! Bob 22Jul96
@c Use this to search: grep -n '\-\-mew' *.texi
@c -item/itemx, text after all (sub/sub)section titles, etc..
@c -consider putting the lists of options on pp 17--> etc in columns or
@c some such.
@c -overfulls. do a search for "mew" in the files, and you will see
@c overfulls that i noted but could not deal with.
@c -have to add text: beginning of chapter 8

@c anything else? --mew 10feb93

@c Use with @@smallbook.
@c Cause even numbered pages to be printed on the left hand side of
@c the page and odd numbered pages to be printed on the right hand
@c side of the page. Using this, you can print on both sides of a
@c sheet of paper and have the text on the same part of the sheet.
@c The text on right hand pages is pushed towards the right hand
@c margin and the text on left hand pages is pushed toward the left
@c hand margin.
@c (To provide the reverse effect, set bindingoffset to -0.75in.)

@c Change the font used for @def... commands, since the default

@cindex introduction
This manual documents how to use the GNU compilers,
as well as their features and incompatibilities, and how to report
bugs. It corresponds to GCC version @value{version-GCC}.
The internals of the GNU compilers, including how to port them to new
targets and some information about how to write front ends for new
languages, are documented in a separate manual. @xref{Top,,
Introduction, gccint, GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) Internals}.

@node Option Index
@unnumbered Option Index
GCC's command line options are indexed here without any initial @samp{-}
or @samp{--}. Where an option has both positive and negative forms
(such as @option{-f@var{option}} and @option{-fno-@var{option}}),
relevant entries in the manual are indexed under the most appropriate
form; it may sometimes be useful to look up both forms.
