Summary0001067: suggest to mention option "-value-help" in value analysis manual
DescriptionIn an attempt to find out the list of all options to the value analysis plug-in, I manually collected all tt-Font text near an occurrence of the string "option" in the value analysis manual ("value-analysis-Nitrogen-20111001.pdf"). After that, I learned about the option "-value-help", which produces another option list. Neither list is contained in the other, but they have a large intersection. I suggest to mention in the manual the option "-value-help" (and: that it explains some options not explained in the manual). Vice versa, the manual should be mentioned in the output of the "-value-help" option. In the long run, of course, both option lists should be made equal.
TagsNo tags attached.

 File "cmpOpts" lists all options I found, with "M" meaning "found in manual", and "H" meaning "found in option -value-help".

 Some of the options in M\H are seemingly kernel options.

 Actually, since an option --help is provided for each Frama-C plug-in, it is documented in the general Frama-C User Manual (Section 3.3.2 "Getting Help"). But arguably it could also be documented in each plug-in manual.

 - the value analysis manual aims to follow a didactic flow and will introduce options that aren't value analysis option but kernel options at the time when they fit in. - some options listed by in -value-help are intended for advanced users. In fact, all options listed in -value-help and not documented in the value analysis manual are to some extent intended for advanced users. I could make an index of options in the value analysis manual. This index would refer to uses or descriptions of each option, again regardless of whether it is actually a kernel or value analysis option.
