Hi all,
I would like to know if GCC provides an option to get a detailed report on the
optimization actually performed by the compiler. For example with the Intel C
compiler it is possible using the -opt-report. I don't want to look at the
assembly file and figure out the optimization.
There is only -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=N currently and the various dump-files
the individual passes produce (-fdump-tree-all[-subflags]
-fdump-rtl-all[-subflags]).
-ftree-vectorizer-verbose is analogous to the icc -vec-report option
(included in -opt-report).
Among the questions not answered by -opt-report are those associated
with application (or not) of -complex-limited-range (gcc
-fcx-limited-range).
-opt-report3 I believe turns on reporting of software prefetch
application, which is important but difficult to follow.
It's nearly impossible to compare icc and gcc optimization other than by
examining assembly and using a profiler which shows paths taken.
