Defaults

-qnodpcl

Usage

When you specify the -qdpcl option, the compiler emits symbols to define blocks of code in a program. You can then use tools that use the DPCL interface to examine performance information, such as memory usage, for object files that you compiled with this option.

You must also specify the -g option when you specify -qdpcl.

-qdpcl is not supported at -O2 or higher optimization levels. If -O2 is specified or implied by other options, -qdpcl will be disabled.
