Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Optimization makes your program smaller or faster by eliminating
     unnecessary instructions and rearranging code.
     See: ◄Optimization Options►
 
     General
          Optimize for Time       Equivalent to specifying /Ot.
                                  See: ◄Optimize for Time►
 
          Optimize for Space      Equivalent to specifying /Os.
                                  See: ◄Optimize for Space►
 
          Disable Optimization    Disables optimizations other than
                                  those chosen in the Specific section
                                  of this dialog box. Equivalent to
                                  specifying /Od.
                                  See: ◄Disabling Optimization►
 
     Inlining
          Give the compiler different levels of control over generation
          of inline code:
 
          Supress Inlining            Equivalent to specifying /Ob0
          Allow Explicit Inlining     Equivalent to specifying /Ob1
          Allow Automatic Inlining    Equivalent to specifying /Ob2
 
          See: ◄Controlling Inline Function Expansion►
 
     Aliasing
          Control the assumptions the compiler makes regarding aliasing
          when it performs optimizations:
 
          Assume No Aliasing          Equivalent to specifying /Oa
          Aliasing Only Across Calls  Equivalent to specifying /Ow
          Allow Aliasing              Turn off restrictions on aliasing
 
          See: ◄Assume No Aliasing►
 
     Specific
          Loop Code Optimization
               Allow moving or rewriting code so that it executes
               faster. Equivalent to specifying /Ol.
               See: ◄Optimize for Space►
 
          Merge Global Expressions
               Enables global-level common subexpression optimization
               which allows the compiler to calculate the value of a
               common subexpression once. Equivalent to specifying /Og.
               See: ◄Enable Common Subexpression Optimization►
 
          Merge Local Expressions
               Enables block-level common subexpression optimization
               which allows the compiler to calculate the value of a
               common subexpression once (default). Equivalent to
               specifying /Oc.
               See: ◄Enable Common Subexpression Optimization►
 
          Improve Float Consistency
               Improve the consistency of tests for equality and
               inequality. Equivalent to specifying /Op.
               See: ◄Improve Float Consistency►
 
          Global Register Allocation
               Disables register keyword and allows storage of
               frequently used variables and subexpressions in
               registers. Equivalent to specifying /Oe.
               See: ◄Global Register Allocation►
 
          Generate Intrinsic Functions
               Equivalent to specifying /Oi.
               See: ◄Generate Intrinsic Functions►
