[Getting gcc to show warning options]

info gcc if you have installed it's documentation, which is almost
always true.

I assumed that this 50MB download would include basic docs! No info
command but I did find gcc.info which explained the options.

Hmm. It's some time since I was involved with Windows so I do not
remember what exactly MinGW included by the way of documentation. I do
know that DJGPP includes the full set of documentation (if you opt to
select it during download) along with the 'man' and 'info' commands to
read them. Cygwin also has just about everything that you would expect
to find with a UNIX gcc installation. As a last resort you'll have to
download gcc's manuals available at the site I included a link to in my
previous post.

If I recall correctly, MinGW includes it's own implementation of the
standard library which presumably includes the documentation too.
Otherwise the Dinkumware site is a great resource for this.

man gcc

Not on my version (this is on Windows).

So I still maintain the compiler is not very helpful.

Such basic information should be readily available without needing to
look elsewhere, or wading through tons of docs.

Note that the GCC project is quite separate from the MinGW project. It's
rather uncharitable to blame the former for the deficiencies of the
latter. Similarly DJGPP and Cygwin are also not connected with the GNU
GCC project except for the fact of a shared code base.
