/feature
(ARM64)
Enable one or more Arm A-Profile architecture features for an ARM64 extension as specified by /arch
(ARM64). For more information about /arch
(ARM64), see /arch
(ARM64).
Syntax
/feature:<arg1>
[+arg2
]
Arguments
To enable one or more features the targeted ARM64 extension supports, specify one or more of the following feature arguments:
Feature argument | Feature identifier | Optional from | Enabled by default | Description | Supported in version |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
lse |
FEAT_LSE |
Armv8.0 | Armv8.1 | Large System Extensions. | Visual Studio 2022 17.10 |
rcpc |
FEAT_LRCPC |
Armv8.2 | Armv8.3 | Load-Acquire RCpc instructions. | Visual Studio 2022 17.10 |
rcpc2 |
FEAT_LRCPC2 |
Armv8.2 | Armv8.4 | Load-Acquire RCpc instructions v2. | Visual Studio 2022 17.11 |
Remarks
Example usage: to enable FEAT_LSE
, specify /feature:lse
.
If there are conflicting feature arguments specified by /feature
, the right-most feature is enabled. Enabling a feature the targeted ARM64 extension doesn't support may cause unexpected behavior, especially if a CPU doesn't implement the feature.
Use either /feature
or only /arch
(ARM64) to specify features. For example, to enable FEAT_LSE
when targeting Armv8.0-A, use both /feature:lse
and /arch:armv8.0
, or specify /arch:armv8.0+lse
. /feature
is a way to specify features without specifying them in /arch
(ARM64).
To set the /feature
compiler option in Visual Studio
Open the Property Pages dialog box for the project. For more information, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.
Select the Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Command Line property page.
In the Additional options box, add
/feature:lse
or replacelse
with the feature to enable. Choose OK to save your changes.
To set this compiler option programmatically
- See AdditionalOptions.
