Clarified that the C++ front end in GCC does not use extensions.
This commit clarifies that the C++ front end in GCC does not rely on extensions. This is a documentation update in the install instructions, ensuring users are correctly informed about the prerequisites and dependencies for using GCC’s C++ compiler. This change primarily improves clarity and helps users avoid potential confusion during the installation process.
In Details
This commit modifies doc/install.texi under the Prerequisites section. It's a straightforward documentation update, unlikely to impact toolchain behavior. The change clarifies that the C++ front end does *not* use extensions, which could be relevant for those configuring minimal or custom GCC builds or dealing with specific system configurations.
For Context
When installing GCC, there are certain software packages and libraries (dependencies) that GCC needs to function correctly. This commit updates the installation documentation to explicitly state that the C++ part of GCC does not require any special extensions. This is useful for users who want to understand the dependencies of GCC and ensure they have the necessary components installed, or when troubleshooting installation issues.
