Something to consider, if the optimization options are re-worked: Arrange the -O options such that -O1 can be described by a distinct set of specific optimizations enabled (or disabled) in addition to -O0, and -O2 would be described as a composite of specific optimizations applied to -O1 and so on. (This might require the addition of new optimization options.) For completeness, if a specific optimization requires certain passes or the assertion of other options, that should somehow be encoded internally within the compiler. This would potentially make it easier to find which optimization (or pass) is causing a regression and might make it easier for users to understand the exact effect of a particular -O option. - Gary
