-qshowpdf
Category
Pragma equivalent
None.
Purpose
When used with -qpdf1 and a minimum optimization level of -O2 at compile and link steps, creates a PDF map file that contains additional profiling information for all procedures in your application.
Defaults
-qshowpdf
Usage
After you run your application with typical data, the profiling information is recorded into a profile-directed feedback (PDF) file (by default, the file is named ._pdf).
In addition to the PDF file, the compiler also generates a PDF map file that contains static information during the -qpdf1 phase. With these two files, you can use the showpdf utility to view part of the profiling information of your application in text. For details of the showpdf utility, see Viewing profiling information with showpdf.
If you do not need to view the profiling information, specify the -qnoshowpdf option during the -qpdf1 phase so that the PDF map file is not generated. This can reduce your compile time.
Predefined macros
None.
