None

Default

OFF	The compiler does not generate a multifile assembly file.

Description

This option tells the compiler to optimize across multiple files and generate a single assembly file (named ipo_out.s on Linux systems; ipo_out.asm on Windows systems).

It performs the same optimizations as -ipo (Linux) or /Qipo (Windows), but compilation stops before the final link stage, leaving an optimized assembly file that can be used in further link steps.

Alternate Options

Linux: -ipo_S
Windows: /Qipo_S
