Function ordering is disabled.

Description

This option enables or disables function ordering if profiling information is enabled.

For this option to be effective, you must do the following:

If you enable profiling information by specifying option [Q]prof-use, option [Q]prof-func-groups is set and function grouping is enabled. However, if you explicitly enable the [Q]prof-func-order option, function ordering is performed instead of function grouping.

On Linux* systems, this option is only available for Linux linker 2.15.94.0.1, or later.

To set the hotness threshold for function grouping and function ordering, use option [Q]prof-hotness-threshold.

IDE Equivalent

None

Alternate Options

None

Example

The following example shows how to use this option on a Windows system:

icl /Qprof-gen:globdata file1.c file2.c /Fe instrumented.exe
    ./instrumented.exe
icl /Qprof-use /Qprof-func-order file1.c file2.c /Fe feedback.exe

The following example shows how to use this option on a Linux system:

icc -prof-gen:globdata file1.c file2.c -o instrumented
    ./instrumented.exe
icc -prof-use -prof-func-order file1.c file2.c -o feedback
