如上所示，使用-Q --help=optimizers选项可以打印出gcc的所有优化（相关的）选项，以及缺省情况下它们是否打开。类似的，你也可以查看不同优化级别下，这些优化选项是否打开：
$ gcc -Q --help=optimizers -O
$ gcc -Q --help=optimizers -O1
$ gcc -Q --help=optimizers -O2
$ gcc -Q --help=optimizers -O3
$ gcc -Q --help=optimizers -Og
$ gcc -Q --help=optimizers -Os
$ gcc -Q --help=optimizers -Ofast详情参见gcc手册
