# qopt-report, Qopt-report (ifort only)

Tells the compiler to generate an optimization report. This description is only for ifort.

## Syntax

Linux: | -qopt-report[=n]

macOS: | -qopt-report[=n]

Windows: | /Qopt-report[:n]

## Arguments

n | (Optional) Indicates the level of detail in the report. You can specify values 0 through 5. If you specify zero, no report is generated. For levels n=1 through n=5, each level includes all the information of the previous level, as well as potentially some additional information. Level 5 produces the greatest level of detail. If you do not specify n, the default is level 2, which produces a medium level of detail.

## Default

OFF | No optimization report is generated.

## Description

This option tells the compiler to generate a collection of optimization report files, one per object; this is the same output produced by option [q or Q]opt-report-per-object.

If you prefer another form of output, you can specify option [q or Q]opt-report-file.

If you specify a level (n) higher than 5, a warning will be displayed and you will get a level 5 report.

When optimization reporting is enabled, the default is -qopt-report-phase=all (Linux* or macOS) or /Qopt-report-phase:all (Windows*).

For a description of the information that each n level provides, see the Example section in option [q or Q]opt-report-phase.

## IDE Equivalent

Visual Studio: Diagnostics > Optimization Diagnostic Level

## Alternate Options

None

## Example

If you only want reports about certain diagnostics, you can use this option with option [q or Q]opt-report-phase. The phase you specify determines which diagnostics you will receive.

For example, the following examples show how to get reports about certain specific diagnostics.

To get this specific report | Specify
--- | ---
Auto-parallelizer diagnostics | Linux* or macOS: -qopt-report -qopt-report-phase=par Windows*: /Qopt-report /Qopt-report-phase:par
OpenMP parallelizer diagnostics | Linux* or macOS: -qopt-report -qopt-report-phase=openmp Windows*: /Qopt-report /Qopt-report-phase:openmp
Vectorizer diagnostics | Linux* or macOS: -qopt-report -qopt-report-phase=vec Windows*: /Qopt-report /Qopt-report-phase:vec
