The File: gcc.info, Node: Optimize Options does list some fine features. On this page: http://www.pathscale.com/docs.html is this whitepaper:

They also use different default values in some cases where 'similar' features are offered. The other whitepaper, "Automated Application Tuning", is great too: http://www.pathscale.com/pdf/PathOpt2-paper.pdf These ideas would be fine enhancements to GCC 4.3.0. -- Summary: Suggest more optimize options and tweaking Product: gcc Version: 4.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: rob1weld at aol dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32592
