=item B<-o> I<filename>
Specify the output filename.
=item B<-{passname}>
B<opt> provides the ability to run any of LLVM's optimization or analysis passes
in any order. The B<-help> option lists all the passes available. The order in
which the options occur on the command line are the order in which they are
executed (within pass constraints).
=item B<-std-compile-opts>
This is short hand for a standard list of I<compile time optimization> passes.
This is typically used to optimize the output from the llvm-gcc front end. It
might be useful for other front end compilers as well. To discover the full set
of options available, use the following command:
=over
B<llvm-as < /dev/null | opt -std-compile-opts -disable-output -debug-pass=Arguments>
=back
=item B<-disable-inlining>
This option is only meaningful when B<-std-compile-opts> is given. It simply
removes the inlining pass from the standard list.
=item B<-disable-opt>
This option is only meaningful when B<-std-compile-opts> is given. It disables
most, but not all, of the B<-std-compile-opts>. The ones that remain are
B<-verify>, B<-lower-setjmp>, and B<-funcresolve>.
=item B<-strip-debug>
This option causes opt to strip debug information from the module before
applying other optimizations. It is essentially the same as B<-strip> but it
ensures that stripping of debug information is done first.
=item B<-verify-each>
This option causes opt to add a verify pass after every pass otherwise specified
on the command line (including B<-verify>). This is useful for cases where it
is suspected that a pass is creating an invalid module but it is not clear which
pass is doing it. The combination of B<-std-compile-opts> and B<-verify-each>
can quickly track down this kind of problem.
=item B<-profile-info-file> I<filename>
Specify the name of the file loaded by the -profile-loader option.
