Commit Message

Florian Weimer Oct. 19, 2023, 8:43 a.m. UTC 
Future changes will treat some C front end warnings similar to
-Wnarrowing.

There are no new tests because there are no such C warnings yet.  The
existing test suite covers the -std=gnu89 -pedantic-errors corner cases
(which should not turn on -fpermissive).

gcc/

	* doc/invoke.texi (Warning Options): Mention C diagnostics
        for -fpermissive.

gcc/c-family/

	* c.opt (fpermissive): Enable for C and ObjC.
	* c-opts.cc (set_std_c89): Enable -fpermissive.
