#### 9.7.6 Dump examples ¶

    gcc -O3 -fopt-info-missed=missed.all

outputs missed optimization report from all the passes into `missed.all`.

As another example,

    gcc -O3 -fopt-info-inline-optimized-missed=inline.txt

will output information about missed optimizations as well as optimized locations from all the inlining passes into `inline.txt`.

If the filename is provided, then the dumps from all the applicable optimizations are concatenated into the `filename`. Otherwise the dump is output onto `stderr`. If options is omitted, it defaults to `optimized-optall`, which means dump all information about successful optimizations from all the passes. In the following example, the optimization information is output on to `stderr`.

    gcc -O3 -fopt-info

Note that `-fopt-info-vec-missed` behaves the same as `-fopt-info-missed-vec`. The order of the optimization group names and message types listed after `-fopt-info` does not matter.

As another example, consider

    gcc -fopt-info-vec-missed=vec.miss -fopt-info-loop-optimized=loop.opt

Here the two output file names `vec.miss` and `loop.opt` are in conflict since only one output file is allowed. In this case, only the first option takes effect and the subsequent options are ignored. Thus only the `vec.miss` is produced which containts dumps from the vectorizer about missed opportunities.
