Option Description ◄/Oa► Specifies that aliases do not exist in your code; you must ensure that they do not ◄/Ow► Specifies that aliases might occur across function calls ◄/Oc► Enables block-level common subexpression optimization: allows the compiler to calculate the value of a common subexpression once (default) ◄/Og► Enables global-level common subexpression optimization: allows the compiler to calculate the value of a common subexpression once ◄/Od► Disables optimization ◄/Oe► Disables register keyword and allows storage of frequently used variables and subexpressions in registers ◄/Ol► Enables loop optimizations: allows moving or rewriting code so that it executes faster ◄/Op► Improves floating point consistency; allows better tests for equality and inequality ◄/Or► Enables single exit point from functions; useful when debugging with CodeView ◄/Os► Minimizes executable file size ◄/O, /Ot► Minimizes execution speed (default) Miscellaneous ◄/Ob<n>► Controls inline expansion, where <n> is a digit from 0 through 2 ◄/Oi► Generates intrinsic functions ◄/On► Turns off potentially unsafe loop optimizations ◄/Oz► Turns on potentially unsafe loop optimizations ◄/Oo[-]► Turns on [or off] post code-generation optimizing (/Oi-, p-code default) ◄/Ox► Maximizes optimization P-Code ◄/Oq► Turns on p-code optimization ◄/Of[-]► Turns on [or off] p-code quoting (default) ◄/Ov[-]► Controls frame sorting (default) The letters following the /O, including the digits in b<n>, can appear in any order. When there is a conflict, the compiler uses the last /O option given. Each option applies to all source files following it on the command line. NOTE: If you are using the debugger, you may want to set the /Od option. If you don't specify /Od, some forms of the compiler perform optimizations that move code, possibly making it difficult for you to follow your program in the debugger.
