CFP2006:
If -funderscoring is in effect, and the original Fortran external identifier contained an underscore, -fsecond-underscore appends a second underscore to the one added by -funderscoring. -fno-second-underscore does not append a second underscore. The default is both -funderscoring and -fsecond-underscore, the same defaults as g77 uses. -fno-second-underscore corresponds to the default policies of PGI Fortran and Intel Fortran.

Compiler will optimize code for selected cpu type: opteron, athlon, athlon64, athlon64fx, em64t, pentium4, xeon, core, anyx86, auto. auto means to optimize for the platform that the compiler is running on, which the compiler determines by reading /proc/cpuinfo. anyx86 means a generic x86 processor. Under 32-bit ABI, anyx86 is a processor without SSE2/SSE3/3DNow! support; under 64-bit ABI it is a processor with SSE2 but without SSE3/3DNow!. Core refers to the Intel Core Microarchitecture, used by 64-bit CPUs such as Woodcrest. The default is opteron.
Equivalent to -O3 -ipa -OPT:Ofast -fno-math-errno -ffast-math.
Use optimizations selected to maximize performance.
Although the optimizations are generally safe, they may affect
floating point accuracy due to rearrangement of computations.
NOTE: -Ofast enables -ipa (inter-procedural analysis), which places limitations on how libraries and .o files are built.

Although the optimizations are generally safe, they may affect
floating point accuracy due to rearrangement of computations.
This effectively turns on the following optimizations:
-OPT:ro=2:Olimit=0:div_split=ON:alias=typed.
-OPT:roundoff,ro=(0|1|2|3)
Specify the level of acceptable departure from source language
floating-point, round-off, and overflow semantics.
The options can be one of the following:
0 = Inhibit optimizations that might affect the floating-point behavior. This is the default when optimization levels -O0, -O1, and -O2 are in effect.
1 = Allow simple transformations that might cause limited round-off or overflow differences. Compounding such transformations could have more extensive effects. This is the default when -O3 is in effect.
2 = Allow more extensive transformations, such as the reordering of reduction loops. This is the default level when -OPT:Ofast is specified.
3 = Enable any mathematically valid transformation.
-OPT:Olimit=N
Disable optimization when size of program unit is > N. When N is 0,
program unit size is ignored and optimization process will not be
disabled due to compile time limit.
The default is 0 when -OPT:Ofast is specified,
9000 when -O3 is specified; otherwise the default is 6000.
-OPT:div_split=(ON|OFF)
Enable or disable changing x/y into x*(recip(y)). This is OFF by
default, but enabled by -OPT:Ofast or -OPT:IEEE_arithmetic=3.
This transformation generates fairly accurate code.
The -OPT: option group controls miscellaneous optimizations. These options override defaults based on the main optimization level.
-OPT:alias=<name>
Specify the pointer aliasing model
to be used. By specifying one or more of the following for <name>,
the compiler is able to make assumptions throughout the compilation:
typed
Assume that the code adheres to the ANSI/ISO C standard
which states that two pointers of different types cannot point
to the same location in memory.
This is ON by default when -OPT:Ofast is specified.
restrict
Specify that distinct pointers are assumed to point to distinct,
non-overlapping objects. This is OFF by default.
disjoint
Specify that any two pointer expressions are assumed to point
to distinct, non-overlapping objects. This is OFF by default.
Do not set ERRNO after calling math functions that are executed with a single instruction, e.g. sqrt. A program that relies on IEEE exceptions for math error handling may want to use this flag for speed while maintaining IEEE arithmetic compatibility. This is implied by -Ofast. The default is -fmath-errno.
-ffast-math improves FP speed by relaxing ANSI & IEEE rules. -fno-fast-math tells the compiler to conform to ANSI and IEEE math rules at the expense of speed. -ffast- math implies -OPT:IEEE_arithmetic=2 -fno-math-errno. -fno-fast-math implies -OPT:IEEE_arithmetic=1 -fmath-errno.
