I think there can be different category for all 'security' related options. They are there mainly because they are implemented by the optimizers. If you want to send a patch to move them, I think the maintainers would consider it. Actually -fprofile-values, -fprofile-generate, and -fprofile-use really are optimizations, and don't have anything to do with security. Ian
