Bug #: 53776 Summary: pragma optimize does not support Os Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: vincenzo.innoce...@cern.ch I need to compile optimized for size some portion of code. The easiest is to "inject" pragmas in the source code at building time unfortunately Os (and I think also Ofast) are not supported in pragma optimize (and I think also not by __attribute__) only numbers works for instance take cat optopt.cc #pragma GCC optimize ("s") void bar(int); inline void foo(int i, int j) { if (i>0) bar(i); if (j>0) bar(j); if (i>0) bar(j); if (j>0) bar(i); }; void foo1(int i, int j) { foo(i,j); } void foo2(int i, int j) { foo(i,j); } void foo3(int i, int j) { foo(i,j); } c++ -O2 -c optopt.cc; nm -C optopt.o U bar(int) 0000000000000000 T foo1(int, int) 0000000000000060 T foo2(int, int) 00000000000000c0 T foo3(int, int) c++ -Os -c optopt.cc; nm -C optopt.o U bar(int) 0000000000000000 W foo(int, int) 0000000000000000 T foo1(int, int) 0000000000000005 T foo2(int, int) 000000000000000a T foo3(int, int) with #pragma GCC optimize ("1") one gets what intended c++ -O2 -c optopt.cc; nm -C optopt.o U bar(int) 0000000000000000 W foo(int, int) 0000000000000000 T foo1(int, int) 0000000000000010 T foo2(int, int) 0000000000000020 T foo3(int, int)
