List all possible optimizations and the optimization level they're
activated at.
.TP
+.BR -q ", " --quiet
+Be less verbose. In particular removes the messages about which files
+are being processed, and which compilation mode is being used, and
+some others. Warnings and errors will of course still be displayed.
+.TP
.BI -W warning "\fR, " "" -Wno- warning
Enable or disable a warning.
.TP
the actual attribute syntax is better defined.
.SH COMPILE FLAGS
.TP
-.B -foverlap-locals
-Allow local variables to overlap with each other if they don't
-interfer with each other. (Not implemented right now)
-.TP
.B -fdarkplaces-string-table-bug
Add some additional characters to the string table in order to
compensate for a wrong boundcheck in some specific version of the
features used in the Xonotic codebase. If you need more, write a
ticket.
.TP
+.B -fftepp-predefs
+Enable some predefined macros. This only works in combination with
+\'-fftepp' and is currently not included by '-std=fteqcc'. The
+following macros will be added:
+.in +4
+.nf
+__LINE__
+__FILE__
+__COUNTER__
+__COUNTER_LAST__
+__RANDOM__
+__RANDOM_LAST__
+.fi
+.in
+Note that fteqcc also defines __FUNC__, __TIME__, __DATE__ and
+__NULL__, which are not yet implemented.
+.TP
.B -frelaxed-switch
Allow switch cases to use non constant variables.
.TP
it's hard to know whether or not an array is actually fully
initialized, especially when initializing it via a loop, we assume
functions with arrays to be too dangerous for this optimization.
+.TP
+.B -Olocal-temps
+This promotes locally declared variables to "temps". Meaning when a
+temporary result of an operation has to be stored somewhere, a local
+variable which is not 'alive' at that point can be used to keep the
+result. This can reduce the size of the global section.
+This will not have declared variables overlap, even if it was
+possible.
+.TP
+.B -Ostrip-constant-names
+Don't generate defs for immediate values or even declared constants.
+Meaning variables which are implicitly constant or qualified as such
+using the 'const' keyword.
+.TP
+.B -Ooverlap-strings
+Aggressively reuse strings in the string section. When a string should
+be added which is the trailing substring of an already existing
+string, the existing string's tail will be returned instead of the new
+string being added.
+
+For example the following code will only generate 1 string:
+
+.in +4
+.nf
+print("Hell you!\\n");
+print("you!\\n"); // trailing substring of "Hello you!\\n"
+.fi
+.in
+There's however one limitation. Strings are still processed in order,
+so if the above print statements were reversed, this optimization
+would not happen.
+.TP
+.B -Ocall-stores
+By default, all parameters of a CALL are copied into the
+parameter-globals right before the CALL instructions. This is the
+easiest and safest way to translate calls, but also adds a lot of
+unnecessary copying and unnecessary temporary values. This
+optimization makes operations which are used as a parameter evaluate
+directly into the parameter-global if that is possible, which is when
+there's no other CALL instruction in between.
.SH CONFIG
The configuration file is similar to regular .ini files. Comments
start with hashtags or semicolons, sections are written in square
.fi
.in
.SH BUGS
+Currently the '-fftepp-predefs' flag is not included by '-std=fteqcc',
+partially because it is not entirely conformant to fteqcc.
