Other Options Related to Optimization

In addition to the /optimize options (discussed in Optimization Levels: the /optimize Option), several other compiler options can prevent or facilitate improved optimizations, as discussed in the following sections:

• Options Set by the /fast Option
• Controlling Loop Unrolling
• Controlling the Inlining of Procedures
• Arithmetic Reordering Optimizations
• Dummy Aliasing Assumption
• Requesting Optimized Code for a Specific Processor Generation
• Requesting Code Generation for a Specific Processor Generation
• Loop Transformation
• Software Pipelining (ia64 only)
