Compare/Test Instruction Optimization

Previous GCC4TI Linker Binary Code Fixup Next

If this type of optimization is turned on, then the GCC4TI linker optimizes all instructions that compare the contents of a memory location with something. This includes operations that compare data and operations that test whether something is zero.

This optimization can reduce the number of absolute references to locations inside the program, and it can also decrease the size of the code if range-cutting is enabled.
