5.6.3.1 General

Table 5-4. General Category
Option	Description	Command Line
Have symbols in production build	Build for debugging in a production build image.	`-g`
Isolate each function in a section	This option is often used with the linker's `--gc-sections` option to remove unreferenced functions. Check to place each function into its own section in the output file. The name of the function determines the section’s name in the output file. Note: When you specify this option, the assembler and linker may create larger object and executable files and will also be slower. Uncheck to place multiple functions in a section.	`-ffunction-sections`
Place data into its own section	This option is often used with the linker's `--gc-sections` option to remove unreferenced statically-allocated variables. Place each data item into its own section in the output file. The name of the data item determines the name of the section. When you specify this option, the assembler and linker may create larger object and executable files and will also be slower.	`-fdata-sections`
Use 64-bit double	Use `long double` instead of `double` type equivalent to float. Mixing this option across modules can have unexpected results if modules share double data either directly through argument passage or indirectly through shared buffer space.	`-fno-short-double`
Disable instruction scheduling	Prevent the compiler from scheduling instructions.	`-f[no-]schedule-insns` `-f[no-]schedule-insns2`
Name the text section	Place text (program code) in a section named `name` rather than the default `.text` section.	`-mtext=name`

Have symbols in production build

Build for debugging in a production build image.

-g

Isolate each function in a section

This option is often used with the linker's --gc-sections option to remove unreferenced functions.

Check to place each function into its own section in the output file. The name of the function determines the section’s name in the output file.

Note: When you specify this option, the assembler and linker may create larger object and executable files and will also be slower.

Uncheck to place multiple functions in a section.

-ffunction-sections

Place data into its own section

This option is often used with the linker's --gc-sections option to remove unreferenced statically-allocated variables.

Place each data item into its own section in the output file.

The name of the data item determines the name of the section. When you specify this option, the assembler and linker may create larger object and executable files and will also be slower.

-fdata-sections

Use 64-bit double

Use long double instead of double type equivalent to float. Mixing this option across modules can have unexpected results if modules share double data either directly through argument passage or indirectly through shared buffer space.

-fno-short-double

Disable instruction scheduling

Prevent the compiler from scheduling instructions.

-f[no-]schedule-insns

-f[no-]schedule-insns2

Name the text section

Place text (program code) in a section named name rather than the default .text section.

-mtext=name
