Hi,

HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
aCC: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.15 [May 16 2007]

I would like to get info of optimization level within compiled C/C++
program.


Something like (using preprocessing directives)
int foo()
{

#ifdef <something-0>
 return 0;  // optimization level == 0
#endif

#ifdef <something-1>
 return 1;  // optimization level == 1
#endif

  ...

}



Here are results of simple experiment.

--- empty.cpp ---
int main()
{
    return 0;
}
-----------------


$ aCC -E -dM empty.cpp > ! pdm0
$ aCC -E -dM +O1 empty.cpp > ! pdm1
$ aCC -E -dM +O2 empty.cpp > ! pdm2
$ aCC -E -dM +O3 empty.cpp > ! pdm3
$ aCC -E -dM +O4 empty.cpp > ! pdm4

$ diff pdm0 pdm1

$ diff pdm0 pdm2

> #define __BUILTIN_MILLI 1

$ diff pdm0 pdm3
25a26
> #define __BUILTIN_MILLI 1

$ diff pdm0 pdm4
25a26
> #define __BUILTIN_MILLI 1


So, it seems that the only macros we can use is __BUILTIN_MILLI.

However, can __BUILTIN_MILLI be defined while optimization level < 2?
If it is true, it means that we can't use __BUILTIN_MILLI to detect
optimization level.

Is there other way to get info of optimization level within compiled C/
C++ program?

Thanks.

There aren't any defines.  You could pass in an extra one when you add +O2.

You aren't allowed to look at the define.  In fact it is useless and may 
be removed.

No, other than pass some define you invent.
