            Bug ID: 100473
           Summary: O2 vs optimization flags
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

Hi all,
May I ask you, why the object file created with option -O2 is different than
with all flags (for O1 + O2) mentioned here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html


Eq.
Why object generated with -O2 is different (in assembly)

than object generated with:
