This option is only active when @option{-fstack-protector} is active. It
warns about functions that will not be protected against stack smashing.
+@item -Wstring-literal-comparison
+@opindex Wstring-literal-comparison
+Warn about suspicious comparisons to string literal constants. In C,
+direct comparisons against the memory address of a string literal, such
+as @code{if (x == "abc")}, typically indicate a programmer error, and
+even when intentional, result in unspecified behavior and are not portable.
+Usually these warnings alert that the programmer intended to use
+@code{strcmp}. This warning is enabled by @option{-Wall}.
