    • -Qprof_gen
    • [user]
    • PASS1_FFLAGS, PASS1_LDFLAGS
    • Instrument program for profiling for the first phase of two-phase profile guided otimization. This instrumentation gathers information about a program's execution paths and data values but does not gather information from hardware performance counters. The profile instrumentation also gathers data for optimizations which are unique to profile-feedback optimization.

    • -Qprof_use
    • [user]
    • PASS2_FFLAGS, PASS2_LDFLAGS
    • Instructs the compiler to produce a profile-optimized executable and merges available dynamic information (.dyn) files into a pgopti.dpi file. If you perform multiple executions of the instrumented program, -Qprof_use merges the dynamic information files again and overwrites the previous pgopti.dpi file.
      Without any other options, the current directory is searched for .dyn files

    • -fast
    • [user]
    • OPTIMIZE
    • The -fast option enhances execution speed across the entire program by including the following options that can improve run-time performance:

      -O3   (maximum speed and high-level optimizations)

      -Qipo (enables interprocedural optimizations across files)

      -QxP  (generate code specialized for Intel Pentium 4 processor and compatible Intel processors with Streaming SIMD Extensions 3)

      -Qprec-div- (disable -Qprec-div) where -Qprec-div improves precision of FP divides (some speed impact)

      To override one of the options set by /fast, specify that option after the -fast option on the command line. The exception is the xP or QxP option which can't be overridden. The options set by /fast may change from release to release.

    • Includes:
    • /F950000000
    • [user]
    • EXTRA_LDFLAGS
    • Specifies the stack reserve amount for the program.

      F<n>
      <n> is the stack reserve amount in bytes. It can be specified as a decimal integer or by using a C-style convention for constants (for example, -F0x1000).
      Default: The stack size default is chosen by the operating system.

    • -link /FORCE:MULTIPLE
    • [user]
    • LDOUT
    • Enable SmartHeap library usage by forcing the linker to ignore multiple definitions

Implicitly Included Flags

This section contains descriptions of flags that were included implicitly by other flags, but which do not have a permanent home at SPEC.


Flag description origin markings:

[user] Indicates that the flag description came from the user flags file.
[suite] Indicates that the flag description came from the suite-wide flags file.
[benchmark] Indicates that the flag description came from a per-benchmark flags file.
