Here, I compile an input program with -O2 optimization level (with gcc 4.8.4)
and measure the execution time:
gcc -O2 -c test.c -o obj.o
TIMEFORMAT='%3R' && time(./obj.o)
execution time = 1.825
and when I replace -O2 flag with the list of options that are turned on as
defined in GCC manuel in the level -O2
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.4/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#Optimize-Options
like that:
gcc -fauto-inc-dec -fcompare-elim -fcprop-registers -fdce -fdefer-pop
-fdse -fguess-branch-probability -fif-conversion2 -fif-conversion
-fipa-pure-const -fipa-profile -fipa-reference -fmerge-constants

-ftree-tail-merge -ftree-pre -ftree-vrp -c test.c -o obj.o
TIMEFORMAT='%3R' && time(./obj.o)
execution time = 2.652
My question is why the execution time is different even so, I applied the
same optimizations ?
