-O3 enables inlining, unswitching and GCSE after reload. How those
change semantics of the program?
Bah, I was convinced we were switching on -ffast-math at -O3. Never mind.

This seems too simplistic. Number of variables/blocks/statements is a
factor, but they may interact in ways that are dif
The gcc developers have been very cooperative over the years in
working to solve problems that I've had in compiling large machine-
generated programs. For example, when gcse was disabled for large
flow flow graphs in 2000, the warn_disabled_optimization flag was
added at my suggestion. As
