Commit Message

Pierre-Marie de Rodat July 17, 2018, 8:22 a.m. UTC
This patch adds compiler switches -gnatH and -gnatJ to section "Alphabetical
list of all switches" of the GNAT User Guide for Native.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

2018-07-17  Hristian Kirtchev  <kirtchev@adacore.com>

gcc/ada/

	* doc/gnat_ugn/building_executable_programs_with_gnat.rst: Add missing
	sections on -gnatH and -gnatJ compiler switches.
	* gnat_ugn.texi: Regenerate.
