"gcc -c -Q -OLevel --help=optimizers" usually returns all gcc optimizations of the specified level *including default ones*. For a given optimization level (01, O2,...), I would like to get (automatically through CLI) the list of optimization options *that are only controlled through command line* like they are provided in GCC doc. I recall that in GCC there are default optimizations that are automatically triggered when applying one of the standard optimization flags. -- View this message in context: http://gcc.1065356.n5.nabble.com/optimization-options-controlled-by-user-tp1237962.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
