3.19.50 VAX Options ¶

These ‘-m’ options are defined for the VAX:

-munix ¶

Do not output certain jump instructions (aobleq and so on) that the Unix assembler for the VAX cannot handle across long ranges.

-mgnu ¶

Do output those jump instructions, on the assumption that the GNU assembler is being used.

-mg ¶

Output code for G-format floating-point numbers instead of D-format.

-mlra ¶

-mno-lra

Enable Local Register Allocation. This is still experimental for the VAX, so by default the compiler uses standard reload.
