Sorry I know that this applies to older versions of the compiler, but I
am stuck using them. I have been spending that last few days trying to
use the gcc compiler to do some better optimizations since we really
didn't do that previously.
We compile our code on Linux using 3.2.2 on red hat 9. That version of
the compiler has the option "-minline-all-stringops".
So Now I've moved to our Solaris SPARC machine which happens to have GCC
3.3.2, but it appears that this version of the compiler had this
option removed (as we compile with -Werror it causes a problem). I
obviously removed that option for Solaris but I am wondering why that
option was removed? Was there a problem with it and I should avoid using
it with the linux version as well?
I do not have control over the version of the compilers we use ( :( ) so
I can not make them all the same version.
I'm just curious about this particular flag and why it was removed.
Thanks
