compiling with -ipo and qopt-report=5

[AThar2]

Hello,

Is there a reason why if I compile with both -ipo qopt-report=5, my optrpt report does not contain much of information. While If i removed -ipo I get the information in the report file as I would expect.

With -ipo, optimization doesn't occur until the "linking" stage, so there's little to report.

Hello Steve

that makes sense. What about vector instruction would they be incorporated then? And how to know if a simd loop was vectorized when no report are provided

I'm pretty sure that if you use ifort to link and add -qopt-report that you should get what you want. Until you do the "link" (actually a pre-link phase that then invokes ld), the .o files just have "intermediate code" that is read by the compiler again at the link to do code generation and optimizing.
