May also generate Intel® SSE4.2, SSE3, SSE2, and SSE instructions for Intel processors. Optimizes for Intel Atom® processors that support Intel® SSE4.2 and MOVBE instructions.

This keyword is only available on Windows and Linux systems.

ATOM_SSSE3

May generate MOVBE instructions for Intel® processors, depending on the setting of option -minstruction (Linux and macOS) or /Qinstruction (Windows). May also generate SSSE3, Intel® SSE3, SSE2, and SSE instructions for Intel processors. Optimizes for Intel Atom® processors that support Intel® SSE3 and MOVBE instructions.

This keyword is only available on Windows and Linux systems.

SSSE3

SSE2

May generate Intel® SSE2 and SSE instructions for Intel® processors. Optimizes for Intel processors that support Intel® SSE2 instructions. This value is not available on macOS systems.

You can also specify a Host. For more information, see option [Q]xHost.

Default

varies

On Windows systems, if neither /Qx nor /arch is specified, the default target architecture supports Intel® SSE2 instructions.

On Linux systems, if neither -x nor -m is specified, the default target architecture supports Intel® SSE2 instructions.

The default on macOS systems is [Q]xSSSE3.

Description

This option tells the compiler which processor features it may target, including which instruction sets and optimizations it may generate. It also enables optimizations in addition to Intel feature-specific optimizations.

The specialized code generated by this option may only run on a subset of Intel® processors.

The resulting executables created from these option code values can only be run on Intel® processors that support the indicated instruction set.

The binaries produced by these code values will run on Intel® processors that support the specified features.

Do not use code values to create binaries that will execute on a processor that is not compatible with the targeted processor. The resulting program may fail with an illegal instruction exception or display other unexpected behavior.

Compiling the function main() with any of the code values produces binaries that display a fatal runtime error if they are executed on unsupported processors, including all non-Intel processors.

Compiler options m and arch produce binaries that should run on processors not made by Intel that implement the same capabilities as the corresponding Intel® processors.

The -x and /Qx options enable additional optimizations not enabled with options -m or /arch (nor with options -ax and /Qax).

Linux

Options -x and -m are mutually exclusive. If both are specified, the compiler uses the last one specified and generates a warning.

Windows

Options /Qx and /arch are mutually exclusive. If both are specified, the compiler uses the last one specified and generates a warning.

NOTE:

All settings except SSE2 do a CPU check. However, if you specify option -O0 (Linux and macOS) or option /Od (Windows), no CPU check is performed.
