+@itemx -fsched-stalled-insns=@var{n}
@opindex fsched-stalled-insns
Define how many insns (if any) can be moved prematurely from the queue
of stalled insns into the ready list, during the second scheduling pass.
+@option{-fno-fsched-stalled-insns} and @option{-fsched-stalled-insns=0}
+are equivalent and mean that no insns will be moved prematurely.

+insns can be moved prematurely.

+@item -fsched-stalled-insns-dep
+@itemx -fsched-stalled-insns-dep=@var{n}

on a stalled insn that is candidate for premature removal from the queue

+of stalled insns. This has an effect only during the second scheduling pass,
and only if @option{-fsched-stalled-insns} is used and its value is not zero.
+@option{-fno-sched-stalled-insns-dep} is equivalent to
+@option{-fsched-stalled-insns-dep=0}.

ones to optimal placement using LCM.
@item -freschedule-modulo-scheduled-loops
-@opindex fscheduling-in-modulo-scheduled-loops
+@opindex freschedule-modulo-scheduled-loops
The modulo scheduling comes before the traditional scheduling, if a loop
was modulo scheduled we may want to prevent the later scheduling passes
from changing its schedule, we use this option to control that.
Enabled at levels @option{-O2}, @option{-O3}, @option{-Os}.
@item -ftree-reassoc
+@opindex ftree-reassoc
Perform Reassociation on trees This flag is enabled by default
at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-pre
+@opindex ftree-pre
Perform Partial Redundancy Elimination (PRE) on trees. This flag is
enabled by default at @option{-O2} and @option{-O3}.
@item -ftree-fre
+@opindex ftree-fre
Perform Full Redundancy Elimination (FRE) on trees. The difference
between FRE and PRE is that FRE only considers expressions
that are computed on all paths leading to the redundant computation.
This flag is enabled by default at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-copy-prop
+@opindex ftree-copy-prop
Perform copy propagation on trees. This pass eliminates unnecessary
copy operations. This flag is enabled by default at @option{-O} and
higher.
@item -ftree-store-copy-prop
+@opindex ftree-store-copy-prop
Perform copy propagation of memory loads and stores. This pass
eliminates unnecessary copy operations in memory references
(structures, global variables, arrays, etc). This flag is enabled by
default at @option{-O2} and higher.
@item -ftree-salias
+@opindex ftree-salias
Perform structural alias analysis on trees. This flag
is enabled by default at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -fipa-pta
+@opindex fipa-pta
Perform interprocedural pointer analysis.
@item -ftree-sink
+@opindex ftree-sink
Perform forward store motion on trees. This flag is
enabled by default at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-ccp
+@opindex ftree-ccp
Perform sparse conditional constant propagation (CCP) on trees. This
pass only operates on local scalar variables and is enabled by default
at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-store-ccp
+@opindex ftree-store-ccp
Perform sparse conditional constant propagation (CCP) on trees. This
pass operates on both local scalar variables and memory stores and
loads (global variables, structures, arrays, etc). This flag is
enabled by default at @option{-O2} and higher.
@item -ftree-dce
+@opindex ftree-dce
Perform dead code elimination (DCE) on trees. This flag is enabled by
default at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-dominator-opts
+@opindex ftree-dominator-opts
Perform a variety of simple scalar cleanups (constant/copy
propagation, redundancy elimination, range propagation and expression
simplification) based on a dominator tree traversal. This also
flag is enabled by default at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-ch
+@opindex ftree-ch
Perform loop header copying on trees. This is beneficial since it increases
effectiveness of code motion optimizations. It also saves one jump. This flag
is enabled by default at @option{-O} and higher. It is not enabled
for @option{-Os}, since it usually increases code size.
@item -ftree-loop-optimize
+@opindex ftree-loop-optimize
Perform loop optimizations on trees. This flag is enabled by default
at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-loop-linear
+@opindex ftree-loop-linear
Perform linear loop transformations on tree. This flag can improve cache
performance and allow further loop optimizations to take place.
@item -fcheck-data-deps
+@opindex fcheck-data-deps
Compare the results of several data dependence analyzers. This option
is used for debugging the data dependence analyzers.
@item -ftree-loop-im
+@opindex ftree-loop-im
Perform loop invariant motion on trees. This pass moves only invariants that
would be hard to handle at RTL level (function calls, operations that expand to
nontrivial sequences of insns). With @option{-funswitch-loops} it also moves
store motion.
@item -ftree-loop-ivcanon
+@opindex ftree-loop-ivcanon
Create a canonical counter for number of iterations in the loop for that
determining number of iterations requires complicated analysis. Later
optimizations then may determine the number easily. Useful especially
in connection with unrolling.
@item -fivopts
+@opindex fivopts
Perform induction variable optimizations (strength reduction, induction
variable merging and induction variable elimination) on trees.
rather than constrained e.g. by memory bandwidth.
@item -ftree-sra
+@opindex ftree-sra
Perform scalar replacement of aggregates. This pass replaces structure
references with scalars to prevent committing structures to memory too
early. This flag is enabled by default at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-copyrename
+@opindex ftree-copyrename
Perform copy renaming on trees. This pass attempts to rename compiler
temporaries to other variables at copy locations, usually resulting in
variable names which more closely resemble the original variables. This flag
is enabled by default at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-ter
+@opindex ftree-ter
Perform temporary expression replacement during the SSA->normal phase. Single
use/single def temporaries are replaced at their use location with their
defining expression. This results in non-GIMPLE code, but gives the expanders
enabled by default at @option{-O} and higher.
@item -ftree-vectorize
+@opindex ftree-vectorize
Perform loop vectorization on trees.
@item -ftree-vect-loop-version
except at level @option{-Os} where it is disabled.
@item -fvect-cost-model
+@opindex fvect-cost-model
Enable cost model for vectorization.
@item -ftree-vrp
+@opindex ftree-vrp
Perform Value Range Propagation on trees. This is similar to the
constant propagation pass, but instead of values, ranges of values are
propagated. This allows the optimizers to remove unnecessary range
The default is @option{-fno-unsafe-math-optimizations}.
@item -fassociative-math
-@opindex -fassociative-math
+@opindex fassociative-math
Allow re-association of operands in series of floating-point operations.
This violates the ISO C and C++ language standard by possibly changing
The default is @option{-fno-associative-math}.
@item -freciprocal-math
-@opindex -freciprocal-math
+@opindex freciprocal-math
Allow the reciprocal of a value to be used instead of dividing by
the value if this enables optimizations. For example @code{x / y}
