Dymola 2015 FD01 Release Notes 27
Note that although the Visual Studio 2013 and 2012 compiler are fully supported, these
compilers by default generate a bit less efficient code than previous versions of the
compiler, with the selected optimization settings. As a temporary work-around you can set
the flag
Advanced.Define.GlobalOptimizations = 2;
before generating code, to activate global optimization in the compiler. (The default value of
the flag is 0.)
This flag works the same for all Visual Studio compilers, but the effect on compilers of
previous versions is small. For the Visual Studio 2013 and 2012 compiler, however, the
simulation performance is restored, but the compilation of the code might take substantially
longer for large models. The setting corresponds to the compiler command
/Og.
Extended GCC compiler support
DLL mode is now supported for GCC.
3.4.2 Installation on Linux
