------- Comment #4 from amylaar at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-11-09 19:35 ------- I have observed the -quiet influence only with a proprietary testcase so far (EEMBC aiifft01/bmark.c for sh-elf -m4 -ml -g -O3 -version -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops --param max-inline-insns-single=50000). Compiling with -da -quiet generally makes this code smaller than compiling with -quiet only, but with a probability of about 1/5th -da -quiet produces larger code. -da without -quiet generally produces code that is larger than any of the above scenarios, but sometimes it produces identical code to -quiet (without -da).
