https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/blob/mast...eLists.txt why are the optimizations flags separated like that. That's almost -02 for gcc
-fauto-inc-dec
-fcompare-elim
-fcprop-registers
-fdce
-fdefer-pop
-fdelayed-branch
-fdse
-fguess-branch-probability
-fif-conversion2
-fif-conversion
-fipa-pure-const
-fipa-profile
-fipa-reference
-fmerge-constants
-fsplit-wide-types
-ftree-bit-ccp
-ftree-builtin-call-dce
-ftree-ccp
-ftree-ch
-ftree-copyrename
-ftree-dce
-ftree-dominator-opts
-ftree-dse
-ftree-forwprop
-ftree-fre
-ftree-phiprop
-ftree-sra
-ftree-pta
-ftree-ter
-funit-at-a-time
-O also turns on -fomit-frame-pointer on machines where doing so does not interfere with debugging.
-O2
Optimize even more. GCC performs nearly all supported optimizations that do not involve a space-speed tradeoff. As compared to -O, this option increases both compilation time and the performance of the generated code.
-O2 turns on all optimization flags specified by -O. It also turns on the following optimization flags:
-fthread-jumps
-falign-functions -falign-jumps
-falign-loops -falign-labels
-fcaller-saves
-fcrossjumping
-fcse-follow-jumps -fcse-skip-blocks
-fdelete-null-pointer-checks
-fdevirtualize
-fexpensive-optimizations
-fgcse -fgcse-lm
-finline-small-functions
-findirect-inlining
-fipa-sra
-foptimize-sibling-calls
-fpartial-inlining
-fpeephole2
-fregmove
-freorder-blocks -freorder-functions
-frerun-cse-after-loop
-fsched-interblock -fsched-spec
-fschedule-insns -fschedule-insns2
-fstrict-aliasing -fstrict-overflow
-ftree-switch-conversion -ftree-tail-merge
-ftree-pre
-ftree-vrp
Coudn't we just define -02 ? Or at least enable some inline functionality that currently its not defined?
