Re: GCC mini-summit - compiling for a particular architecture
Related to this: have you guys ever considered to making the -On
flags dependent on the architecture?
It came up in a few side conversations. As I understand it, RMS has
decreed that the -On optimizations shall be architecture independent.
That said, there are "generic" optimizations which really only apply
to a single architecture, so there is some precedent for bending this
rule.
There were also suggestions of making the order of optimizations
command line configurable and allowing dynamically loaded libraries to
register new passes.
