Hello.
I accidentally learned that -fipa-ra option is disabled if:
/* Do not use IPA optimizations for register allocation if profiler is active
or port does not emit prologue and epilogue as RTL. */
if (profile_flag || !targetm.have_prologue () || !targetm.have_epilogue ())
flag_ipa_ra = 0;
So I basically copied the comment to invoke.texi.
Apart from that, I've noticed that '-fprofile' (which is alias of '-p') is not documented.
Shouldn't it be documented as an alias?
Thanks,
Martin
