Disable Loop Unrolling

Unrolling a loop increases the size of the loop proportionally to the unroll factor.

Disabling (or limiting) this optimization may help reduce code size at the expense of performance.

Options to specify:

Linux*: -unroll=0
Windows* (C++ only): /Qunroll:0

Advantages of this method:

Code size is reduced.

Disadvantages of this method:

Performance of otherwise unrolled loops may noticeably degrade because this limits other possible loop optimizations.

Note

This option is already the default if you specify option Os or option O1.
