## Description

This option controls which features are value profiled.

If this option is specified with option [Q]prof-gen, it turns off instrumentation of operations of the specified type. This also prevents feedback of values for the operations.

If this option is specified with option [Q]prof-use, it turns off feedback of values collected of the specified type.

If you specify level 2 or higher for option[q or Q]opt-report, the value profiling specialization information will be reported within the PGO optimization report.
