Syntax:
>>-.---.--OPT--"integer"-------------------><
+-/-+
Parameters:
|
integer
|
The level of optimization; one of: |
| 1 |
Minimal optimization. |
| 2 |
Default optimization. |
| 3 |
Additional optimization - particularly of STRING, UNSTRING and INSPECT. This option increases the time taken to generate a program in comparison to the default optimization. |
Properties:
| Default: |
OPT"2" |
| Phase: |
Generate |
| $SET: |
Any |
Dependencies:
Set to OPT"1" at end by ANIM.
Comments:
OPT"3" provides global optimisation; this means that the entire program is examined as a whole during optimisation, rather than successive small portions of it.
Compiling with OPT"3" can take considerably longer than with OPT"2".
If you request optimization of a large program, compilation might fail because there is insufficient memory. If this happens, repeat the compilation with OPT"2" specified.
OPT is the equivalent of OPT"3".
