/GA (Optimize for Windows Application)
Results in more efficient code for an .exe file for accessing thread-local storage (TLS) variables.
Syntax
/GA
Remarks
/GA speeds access to data declared with __declspec(thread) in a Windows-based program. When this option is set, the __tls_index macro is assumed to be 0.
Using /GA for a DLL can result in bad code generation.
