Bug #: 54615 Summary: unclear documentation on -fomit-frame-pointer for -O Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: vincent-...@vinc17.net http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html says about -O: -O also turns on -fomit-frame-pointer on machines where doing so does not interfere with debugging. and about -fomit-frame-pointer: Enabled at levels -O, -O2, -O3, -Os. So, it is not clear whether -fomit-frame-pointer is always enabled at level -O or not. This bug is related to bug 51019 (unclear documentation on -fomit-frame-pointer default for -Os and different platforms).
