Example of -x and -ax Combinations

If you wanted your application to

you could generate such an application with the following command line:

prompt>ifc -02 -tpp6 -xM -xi myprog.f

-xM above restricts the application to running on Pentium processors with MMX technology or later processors. If you wanted to enable the application to run on earlier generations of Intel 32-bit processors as well, you would use the following command line:

prompt>ifc -02 -tpp6 -axM myprog.f
