Description

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

It performs the same optimizations as -ipo (Linux and Mac OS X) 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
