22 * @brief Flags to control optimizations.
23 * @author Christian Schaefer, Goetz Lindenmaier, Michael Beck
25 * Flags to customize the behavior of libfirm.
27 * There are the following groups of flags:
28 * 1. Optimization flags.
29 * a) There is a flag, 'optimize' to turn on/off all optimizations.
30 * b) There are flags for each individual optimization. Some flags turns
31 * transformations in several algorithms on/off.
32 * 2. Normalization flags.
33 * These flags steer transformations of the ir that improve it, as removing
34 * dump Phi nodes (one predecessor, all predecessors are equal ...), Ids, Tuples ...
36 * a) Flags to steer the level of the information.
37 * b) Flags to steer in which phase information should be dumped.
38 * 4. Verification flag
39 * This one controls the behavior of node and type verifications
