Correct Example Code Comment in GCC Documentation

Fixed a typo in a comment within the example code for the -Wunused-variable flag in the GCC documentation.

This commit corrects a minor error in the GCC documentation. It changes the comment text in the example code for the -Wunused-variable flag from “pre/postincrement used” to “pre/postincrement result used”. This ensures the documentation accurately reflects the behavior of the code and avoids potential confusion for users.

In Details

This commit propagates a documentation fix from the wwwdocs to the texinfo source. The change involves clarifying the example code associated with the -Wunused-variable flag. No specific knowledge of GCC internals is required to understand this commit.

For Context

GCC's documentation explains how to use the compiler and its various flags. The -Wunused-variable flag warns you about variables that are declared but never actually used in your program. This commit fixes a small typo in a comment inside an example demonstrating this flag, ensuring the documentation is clear and accurate. This makes it easier for developers to understand how to use the flag correctly.
