Re: RFA: Set default optimization level to -O2 for -flto

Should we record compiler options in .o files? For some targets, you may need -fPIC with -flto if -fPIC is used to build .o files.


I thought it was already the case....

Anyway, to check compatibility of compile versus link time optimisation flag, we need to store them somewhere...

But yes, I believe that at least in -flto mode, we better should store all the compile flags (those listed in comments when running -fverbose-asm -S) somewhere in the object file.

BTW, are we talking about patching 4.5 before its release or about 4.6?

If 4.5 can be patched to improve a new feature, I respectfully ask for someone to review the
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-03/msg00644.html patch which enables short plugin names like -fplugin=treehydra instead of -fplugin=/some/distribution/path/to/treehydra.so
