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