Maximizes speed across the entire program.
Sets the following options:
Enables use of faster but slightly less accurate code sequences for math functions, such as divide and sqrt. When compared to strict IEEE* precision, this option slightly reduces the accuracy of floating-point calculations performed by these functions, usually limited to the least significant digit.
This option also enables the performance of more aggressive floating-point transformations, which may affect accuracy.
This option controls the prefetches that are issued for a memory access in the next iteration, typically done in a pointer-chasing loop. This option should improve performance. The default is -no-opt-prefetch-next-iteration (next iteration prefetch off).
Tells the compiler to assume that the program adheres to ISO C Standard.
aliasability.
If your program adheres to these rules, then this option allows the compiler
to optimize more aggressively. If it doesn't adhere to these rules, then it
can cause the compiler to generate incorrect code.

Disables prefetch insertion optimization..
Instructs the compiler to analyze and transform the program so that 64-bit pointers are shrunk to 32-bit pointers, and 64-bit longs (on Linux) are shrunk into 32-bit longs wherever it is legal and safe to do so. In order for this option to be effective the compiler must be able to optimize using the -ipo option and must be able to analyze all library or external calls the program makes.

Specifies the percentage multiplier that should be applied to all inlining options that define upper limits: -inline-max-size, -inline-max-total-size, -inline-max-per-routine, and -inline-max-per-compile.
This option takes the default value for each of the above options and multiplies it by n divided by 100. For example, if 200 is specified, all inlining options that define upper limits are multiplied by a factor of 2. This option is usuful if you do not want to individually increase each option limit.
n is a positive integer specifying the percentage value. The default value is 100 (a factor of 1).
Do not assume arguments may be aliased.

If your program adheres to these rules, then this option allows the compiler
to optimize more aggressively. If it doesn't adhere to these rules, then it
can cause the compiler to generate incorrect code.
Maximizes speed across the entire program.
Sets the following options:
Enables use of faster but slightly less accurate code sequences for math functions, such as divide and sqrt. When compared to strict IEEE* precision, this option slightly reduces the accuracy of floating-point calculations performed by these functions, usually limited to the least significant digit.
This option also enables the performance of more aggressive floating-point transformations, which may affect accuracy.
This option controls the prefetches that are issued for a memory access in the next iteration, typically done in a pointer-chasing loop. This option should improve performance. The default is -no-opt-prefetch-next-iteration (next iteration prefetch off).
This option controls the loadpair optimization. The loadpair optimization is enabled by default when -O3 is used for Itanium. -no-opt-loadpair turns the loadpair optimization off.
Tells the compiler to assume that the program adheres to ISO C Standard.

This section contains descriptions of flags that were included implicitly by other flags, but which do not have a permanent home at SPEC.
Enables O2 optimizations plus more aggressive optimizations, such as prefetching, scalar replacement, and loop and memory access transformations. Enables optimizations for maximum speed, such as:
On Intel Itanium processors, the O3 option enables optimizations for technical computing applications (loop-intensive code): loop optimizations and data prefetch.
The O3 optimizations may not cause higher performance unless loop and
memory access transformations take place. The optimizations may slow
down code in some cases compared to O2 optimizations.
The O3 option is recommended for applications that have loops that heavily
use floating-point calculations and process large data sets.
Enables optimizations for speed. This is the generally recommended
optimization level.
This option enables optimizations for speed, including global code scheduling,
software pipelining,predication, and speculation.
This option also enables:
Enables optimizations for speed and disables some optimizations that
increase code size and affect speed.
To limit code size, this option:
On Intel Itanium processors, this option also enables optimizations for server applications (straight-line and branch-like code with a flat profile).
The O1 option may improve performance for applications with very large code size, many branches, and execution time not dominated by code within loops.
-unroll0, -fbuiltin, -mno-ieee-fp, -fomit-frame-pointer (same as -fp), -ffunction-sections
Tells the compiler the maximum number of times to unroll loops.
Enables inline expansion of all intrinsic functions.
Disables conformance to the ANSI C and IEEE 754 standards for floating-point arithmetic.
Enables EBP to be used as a general-purpose register.
Places each function in its own COMDAT section.
Enables multifile interprocedural optimizations between files.
Prevents linking with shared libraries.
Enables function splitting. This option is enabled automatically if you specify -prof-use.
