Documentation of __GMP_CC and __GMP_CFLAGS ?

[Sisyphus]

Hi,

Are there any plans to document __GMP_CC and __GMP_CFLAGS in the future ?

I've made them accessible from (the perl module) Math::GMPz, because of
their potentially useful diagnostic capabilities ... but then I've also
received a complaint about that because they're not documented
( https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46604 ).

Knowing what (if anything) is planned in this regard might have a bearing on
how I deal with that complaint.

Cheers,
Rob

IMHO, you shouldn't have a build failure if they are not present.
In such a case, the Perl value should just be undef.

It seems like a good idea to document them.

(I think it was a mere oversight not to document them when they were
introduced.)

Yes - you're right. (Knew I was missing something ...)

I'll modify it so that is precisely what happens.
