+compiler is using for optimization.
+Higher levels correspond to higher accuracy (fewer false positives).
+Higher levels also correspond to more effort, similar to the way -O works.
+@option{-Wstrict-aliasing} is equivalent to @option{-Wstrict-aliasing=n},
+with n=3.
+
+Level 1: Most aggressive, quick, least accurate.
+Possibly useful when higher levels
+do not warn but -fstrict-aliasing still breaks the code, as it has very few
+false negatives. However, it has many false positives.
+Warns for all pointer conversions between possibly incompatible types,
+even if never dereferenced. Runs in the frontend only.
+
+Level 2: Aggressive, quick, not too precise.
+May still have many false positives (not as many as level 1 though),
+and few false negatives (but possibly more than level 1).
+Unlike level 1, it only warns when an address is taken. Warns about
+incomplete types. Runs in the frontend only.
+
+Level 3 (default for @option{-Wstrict-aliasing}):
+Should have very few false positives and few false
+negatives. Slightly slower than levels 1 or 2 when optimization is enabled.
+Takes care of the common punn+dereference pattern in the frontend:
+@code{*(int*)&some_float}.
+If optimization is enabled, it also runs in the backend, where it deals
+with multiple statement cases using flow-sensitive points-to information.
+Only warns when the converted pointer is dereferenced.

+@item -femit-struct-debug-detailed@r{[}=@var{spec-list}@r{]}
+Specify the struct-like types
+for which the compiler will generate debug information.
+The intent is to reduce duplicate struct debug information
+between different object files within the same program.
+
+This option is a detailed version of
+@option{-femit-struct-debug-reduced} and @option{-femit-struct-debug-baseonly},
+which will serve for most needs.
+
+A specification has the syntax
+[@samp{dir:}|@samp{ind:}][@samp{ord:}|@samp{gen:}](@samp{any}|@samp{sys}|@samp{base}|@samp{none})
+
+The optional first word limits the specification to
+structs that are used directly (@samp{dir:}) or used indirectly (@samp{ind:}).
+A struct type is used directly when it is the type of a variable, member.
+Indirect uses arise through pointers to structs.
+That is, when use of an incomplete struct would be legal, the use is indirect.
+An example is
+@samp{struct one direct; struct two * indirect;}.
+
+The optional second word limits the specification to
+ordinary structs (@samp{ord:}) or generic structs (@samp{gen:}).
+Generic structs are a bit complicated to explain.
+For C++, these are non-explicit specializations of template classes,
+or non-template classes within the above.
+Other programming languages have generics,
+but @samp{-femit-struct-debug-detailed} does not yet implement them.
+
+The third word specifies the source files for those
+structs for which the compiler will emit debug information.
+The values @samp{none} and @samp{any} have the normal meaning.
+The value @samp{base} means that
+the base of name of the file in which the type declaration appears
+must match the base of the name of the main compilation file.
+In practice, this means that
+types declared in @file{foo.c} and @file{foo.h} will have debug information,
+but types declared in other header will not.
+The value @samp{sys} means those types satisfying @samp{base}
+or declared in system or compiler headers.
+
+You may need to experiment to determine the best settings for your application.
+
+The default is @samp{-femit-struct-debug-detailed=all}.
+
+This option works only with DWARF 2.

+Set the list of functions that are excluded from instrumentation (see
