Restricting Optimizations

The following options restrict or preclude the compiler's ability to optimize your program:

Option Description
-O0 Disables optimizations. Enables the -fp option.
-mp Restricts optimizations that cause some minor loss or gain of precision in floating-point arithmetic to maintain a declared level of precision and to ensure that floating-point arithmetic more nearly conforms to the ANSI and IEEE*standards.
-g Specifying the -g option turns off the default -O2 option and makes -O0 the default unless -O1, -O2, or -O3 is explicitly specified in the command line together with -g.
-nolib_inline Disables inline expansion of intrinsic functions.

Note

You can turn off all optimizations for specific functions by using #pragma optimize. In the following example, all optimization is turned off for function foo():

#pragma optimize("", off)

foo(){

...

}

Valid second arguments for #pragma optimize are "on" or "off." With the "on" argument, foo() is compiled with the same optimization as the rest of the program. The compiler ignores first argument values.
