All the available threads, or the number specified by N, may be used. N must be a positive integer. Specifying nothreads does not run any parallel threads; this is equivalent to running one serial thread. This option does not affect the code in the final binary created.
Causes the system loader to put the heap in it's own segment of the size specified. This is only required for 32-bit applications, as their segments are 256M. If the last digit of the value is "C", then it also turns off the malloc pool option for that executable.
Indicates that a program, designed to execute in a large page memory environment, can take advantage of large 16 MB pages provided on POWER4 and higher based systems.
Perform optimizations for maximum performance. This includes maximum interprocedural analysis on all of the objects presented on the "link" step. This level of optimization will increase the compiler's memory usage and compile time requirements. -O5 Provides all of the functionality of the -O4 option, but also provides the functionality of the -qipa=level=2 option.
-O5 is equivalent to the following flagsEnables the generation of vector instructions for processors that support them.
