How can I find all of the flags for the latest scalac version? After googling for hours I have found only outdated docs. (for example, they don't even mention "-feature" flag).
Is there any way to obtain the list of compiler flags with descriptions from scalac, or anything else?
The closest I have been able to find is the relevant source files for the compiler. Unfortunately the options are spread among several files. As of this writing, it breaks down like so:
These will of course be for the current development version of the compiler, so if you want options for a specific version of scalac, you'll need to use the "branch" drop-down menu to view the correct version tag.
Edit: Documentation for Scala Compiler Options has been posted.
Most of us get by with scalac -help, scalac -X and scalac -Y.
Don't forget to scala -help, too.
Edit: sbt user can do the usual:
> set scalacOptions in Compile += "-X"
> compile

At least the man page was updated recently:
