They are the same as I understand. g++ doesn't reject them both being specified. They mean the same thing. It's not an error to repeat options. > Another example is -O1 -O0 -O3, the later -03 seems to be used. Maybe nice to say too many optimization options specified? No, it's common (and very useful) to append an option to the end of a command and have it override earlier options. This behaviour is documented, and relied on by many people. > > Cheers, Jonny
