The optimization passes are grouped into several categories. Currently defined categories in dumpfile.h are
OPTGROUP_IPA ¶IPA optimization passes. Enabled by -ipa
OPTGROUP_LOOP ¶Loop optimization passes. Enabled by -loop.
OPTGROUP_INLINE ¶Inlining passes. Enabled by -inline.
OPTGROUP_OMP ¶OMP (Offloading and Multi Processing) passes. Enabled by -omp.
OPTGROUP_VEC ¶Vectorization passes. Enabled by -vec.
OPTGROUP_OTHER ¶All other optimization passes which do not fall into one of the above.
OPTGROUP_ALL ¶All optimization passes. Enabled by -optall.
By using groups a user could selectively enable optimization information only for a group of passes. By default, the optimization information for all the passes is dumped.
