1. I suggest that a automated or semi-automated tool be created that takes the gcc manual pages (for example the gcc-4.3.3 subsections which I will include below), creates a table of compiler flags (for the creation of checkboxes) and the corresponding description(for hover text), 2. That this table be added to the compiler flags settings. 3. That the corresponding tool (compiler is probably a priority) be ran with the -v --help flags which will produce a series of supported flags on that particular implementation. These flags can be crosschecked against the included flags so the irrelevant ones can be disabled. I believe that at least the first two items are easy and plausible because each entry in at least the html version, perhaps even the other versions(tex, ect) of the manual have flags listed as such, where the compiler option is completely left justified and the corresponding description is tabbed and below it.: -fsyntax-only Check the code for syntax errors, but don't do anything beyond that. Which is easy to parse. And the primary difficulty in adding checkboxes to the corresponding file that configures them is the organization/categorization, after which the above table can be inserted post a formating step to add the proper ui code. ----------------------------------- Some gcc manual pages that can be parsed for flags: 3.2 Options Controlling the Kind of Output
