- * Optimization flags.
+ * Flags to customize the behaviour of libfirm.
*
* @author Christian Schaefer
+ *
+ * There are the following groups of flags:
+ * 1. Optimization flags.
+ * a) There is a flag, 'optimize' to turn on/off all optimizations.
+ * b) There are flags for each individual optimization. Some flags turns
+ * transformations in several algorithms on/off.
+ * 2. Normalization flags.
+ * These flags steer transformations of the ir that improve it, as removing
+ * dump Phi nodes (one predecessor, all preds are equal ...), Ids, Tuples ...
+ * 3. Verbosity flags.
+ * a) Flags to steer the level of the information.
+ * b) Flags to steer in which phase information should be dumped.
