} else {
- // If no -O was passed, pass -O0 to ptxas -- no opt flag should correspond
- // to no optimizations, but ptxas's default is -O3.
- CmdArgs.push_back("-O0");
+ // If no -O was passed, pass -O3 to ptxas -- this makes ptxas's

----------------
I think this would be contrary to the expectation that lack of `-O` in clang
means - `do not optimize` and it generally implies the whole compilation chain,
including assembler. Matching whatever nvidia tools do is an insufficient
reason for breaking this assumption, IMO.
If you do want do run optimized ptxas on unoptimized PTX, you can use
`-Xcuda-ptxas -O3`.
