I've been googling for a comprehensive list of LDC and GDC command line args for ages. I can't find one.

I have had to download and install both compilers just to run the --help.

Can these compilers please both have such a document in an obvious accessible place like DMD has?

There is one for GDC[1], couldn't find anything for LDC.

[1] https://wiki.dlang.org/GDC/Using_GDC

How did you get there? Even knowing it exists, I can't find a path to that page from other pages...

Is this complete and up to date?
I have '-fdeprecated' in some existing makefiles, but this doc says
'-Wdeprecated' is the flag... not sure which is correct? :/
Also, there seems to be a lot of flags missing:
  deprecated as error
  deprecated as warning
  boundscheck=safeonly
  emit coverage
  emit deps
  profile, profile=gc
  addmain

Just added to https://wiki.dlang.org/Using_LDC

Perfect! How can we protect against this going stale?

easiest way would be to write a script to parse the output of ldc --help
and print out as a table in mediawiki syntax (I did the current addition manually).

Shouldn't be too hard, but I don't have much time atm.

Don't; just use `ldc2 -help`. This is the perfect example of a problem that doesn't need a solution. Downloading and extracting the binary package (or installing the distro package) is easy enough.
