Code Coverage instrumentation
This selector controls whether the program output will be instrumented with assembler sequences that record execution of the code they represent and whose data can facilitate analysis of the extent to which a project’s source code has been executed. See 3.6.5.3 Codecov Option and 4.2.8 Code Coverage.
Stack Guidance
This checkbox enables the compiler's stack guidance feature for licensed PRO compilers. The feature estimates the maximum depth of any stack used by a program and prints a report. See 3.6.5.2 Stack Guidance Option and 4.2.9 Stack Guidance.
