Compiler flag on Mira

[azamat@anl_gov]

Does the '-Q' compiler flag on Mira and xlf compiler do anything? I couldn't find any documentation for it. Can it be removed without any impact on run-time?

This is from an older xlf document, I cannot find anything in recent bluegene specific documents. Try removing it and see if it has any effect.

-Q, -Q!, -Q+, -Q-
Specifies whether internal procedures are inlined or only the internal procedures
identifed in , are inlined or are exempt from inlining. is a list of
internal procedure names that are separated by colons. You must specify at least an
optimization level of -O2 for inlining to take effect with -Q. To turn on inline
expansion for calls to procedures in different scopes, you must also use the
-qipa=inline. The default is no inlining.

Yes, removing works. The default at -O2 and higher is -qinline=auto. The -qinline flag appears to be a replacement for -Q. It'd be good to omit -Q from Macros to avoid any possible confusion. Thanks.
