+O[no]cross_region_addressing

The +O[no]cross_region_addressing option enables [disables] the use of cross-region

addressing. Cross-region addressing is required if a pointer, such as an array base, points to a

different region than the data being addressed due to an offset that results in a cross-over into

another region. Standard conforming applications do not require the use of cross-region addressing.

The default is +Onocross_region_addressing.

NOTE: Using this option may result in reduced runtime performance.

+O[no]datalayout

The +O[no]datalayout option enables [disables] profile-driven layout of global and static data

items to improve cache memory utilization. This option is currently enabled if +Oprofile=use

(dynamic profile feedback) is specified.

The default, in the absence of +Oprofile=use, is +Onodatalayout.

+O[no]dataprefetch

When +Odataprefetch is enabled, the optimizer inserts instructions within innermost loops to

explicitly prefetch data from memory into the data cache. Data prefetch instructions are inserted

only for data structures referenced within innermost loops using simple loop varying addresses

(that is, in a simple arithmetic progression).

Use this option for applications that have high data cache miss overhead.

+Odataprefetch is equivalent to +Odataprefetch=indirect. +Onodataprefetch is

equivalent to +Odataprefetch=none.

Usage:

+Odataprefetch=kind

The defined values for kind are:

direct Enable generation of data prefetch instructions for the benefit of direct memory

accesses, but not indirect memory accesses. This is the default at optimization level

+O1.

indirect Enables the generation of data prefetch instructions for the benefit of both direct and

indirect memory accesses. This is the default at optimization levels +O2 and above.

It is treated the same as direct at optimization level +O1.

none Disables the generation of data prefetch instructions. This is the default at optimization

level +O0.

+O[no]fltacc

+O[no]fltacc=level

The +O[no]fltacc option disables [enables] floating-point optimizations that can result in

numerical differences. Any option other than +Ofltacc=strict also generates Fused Multiply-Add

(FMA) instructions. FMA instructions can improve performance of floating-point applications.

If you specify neither +Ofltacc nor +Onofltacc, less optimization is performed than for

+Onofltacc. If you specify neither option, the optimizer generates FMA instructions but does not

perform any expression-reordering optimizations.

Specifying +Ofltacc insures the same result as in unoptimized code (+O0).
