Hi Alex, At 2022-11-10T01:06:31+0100, Alejandro Colomar wrote:Now, I've released man-pages-6.01 very recently (just a few weeks ago), and I don't plan to release again in a year or two, so there's time to do the implementation in GCC. From my side, please consider this an ACK or even somewhat of a push to get things done in the compiler side of things :)Do you mean you _don't_ plan to release again for a year or two? You know what Moltke said about plans and contact with the enemy. For one thing, I think the Linux kernel will move too fast to permit such a leisurely cadence.
Heh, at this point, I burnt my ships, by using enhanced VLA syntax. If I release that before GCC, I'm expecting to see an avalanche of reports about it (and I also expect that GCC and forums will receive a similar ammount). So yes, I expect to wait some longish time.
Also, as soon as Bertrand and I can get groff 1.23 out[1], I am hoping you will, shortly thereafter, migrate to the new `MR` macro.
Not as soon as it gets released, because I expect (at least a decent amount of) contributors to be able to read the pages to which they contribute to, but as soon as it makes it into Debian stable, yes, that's in my plans. So, if you make it before the freeze, that means around a couple of months from now.

Looks good! Cheers, Alex
