N:
N: This manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was
N: intended. By default, "-" chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by
N: groff, not as minus signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use
minus
N: signs (U+002D), this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you
cannot
N: cut and paste options, nor search for them easily. The Debian
groff
N: package currently forces "-" to be interpreted as a minus sign due
to
N: the number of manual pages with this problem, but this is a
N: Debian-specific modification and hopefully eventually can be
removed.
N:
N: "-" must be escaped ("\-") to be interpreted as minus. If you
really
N: intend a hyphen (normally you don't), write it as "\(hy" to
emphasise
N: that fact. See groff(7) and especially groff_char(7) for details,
and

N:
N: If you use some tool that converts your documentation to groff
format,
N: this tag may indicate a bug in the tool. Some tools convert dashes
of
N: any kind to hyphens. The safe way of converting dashes is to
convert
N: them to "\-".
N:
N: Because this error can occur very often, Lintian shows only the
first 10

N: occurrences. If you want to see all warnings, run Lintian with the

These flags reduce entropy, but not size, of the generated assembly
code. This helps compressability of the files.
Additionally, -ftypeless-stores might SLIGHTLY improve engine
performance due to less instructions being used (so branch prediction
might work better). Probably cannot be measured though.
