2008-08-01 Basile Starynkevitch <basile@starynkevitch> * gcc/tree-pass.h: Added comment about not dumping passes with name starting with star in struct opt_pass. * gcc/passes.c (register_dump_files_1): Don't do dump for a pass with name starting with star. * gcc/doc/passes.texi (Pass manager): Mention pass names and special meaning of star prefix to avoid dump.
