Reporting GCC Bugs

## NAME

gccbug - Reporting GCC Bugs

## SYNOPSIS

gccbug\
        \[ **--cc** *mail-address* \]\
        \[ **--version** \] ⎪ \[ **--help** \]

## DESCRIPTION

**gccbug** is a version of GNU GNATS send-pr configured for GCC bug reporting.

Invoking **gccbug** calls the editor named in your environment variable **VISUAL** or **EDITOR** on a problem report template.

Your bug reports play an essential role in making GCC reliable. However since the maintainers are very overloaded, please first make sure that:

- •

  The problem is not already known.  See \<**http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#known**\> for a list of known bugs. If it isn't known, then you should report the problem.

  You can browse the bug database for bugs reported at \<**http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl**\>.

- •

  You include the information that makes for fixing the bug. See \<**http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#report**\> for bug reporting instructions.

## OPTIONS

- **--cc** *mail-address*

  Specifies the mail-address to which the PR should be carbon-copied.

- **--version**

  Displays the **gccbug** version number and a usage summary.  No mail is sent.

- **--help**

  Displays a usage summary for **gccbug**.  No mail is sent.

**gccbug** has more (undocumented) options, which may be unsupported by a future GCC bug tracking system.
