/G (Optimize for Processor) Options

Tells the compiler to optimize code generation for the specified processor.

/G{1|2}

Arguments

  • /G1
    Optimize for Itanium processor. Only available in the Itanium cross compiler or Itanium native compiler.

  • /G2
    Optimize for Itanium2 processor (default between /G1 and /G2) Only available in the Itanium cross compiler or Itanium native compiler.
