+@option{-Wabi} can also be used with an explicit version number to

+used for ABI warnings.
Although an effort has been made to warn about
all such cases, there are probably some cases that are not warned about,
concerned about the fact that code generated by G++ may not be binary
compatible with code generated by other compilers.

-@item -floop-interchange

-Perform loop interchange transformations on loops. Interchanging two

- DO I = 1, N

- ENDDO

-@end smallexample
-which can be beneficial when @code{N} is larger than the caches,
-because in Fortran, the elements of an array are stored in memory
-contiguously by column, and the original loop iterates over rows,

-Perform loop strip mining transformations on loops. Strip mining
-splits a loop into two nested loops. The outer loop has strides

-
-@item -floop-block
@opindex floop-block
-Perform loop blocking transformations on loops. Blocking strip mines
-each loop in the loop nest such that the memory accesses of the
-element loops fit inside caches. The strip length can be changed
-using the @option{loop-block-tile-size} parameter. For example, given
-a loop like:
-@smallexample
-DO I = 1, N
- DO J = 1, M
- A(J, I) = B(I) + C(J)
- ENDDO
-ENDDO

Set the division strategy to be used for integer division operations.
-For SHmedia @var{strategy} can be one of:
-
-@table @samp
-
-@item fp
-Performs the operation in floating point. This has a very high latency,
-but needs only a few instructions, so it might be a good choice if
-your code has enough easily-exploitable ILP to allow the compiler to
-schedule the floating-point instructions together with other instructions.
-Division by zero causes a floating-point exception.
-
-@item inv
-Uses integer operations to calculate the inverse of the divisor,
-and then multiplies the dividend with the inverse. This strategy allows
-CSE and hoisting of the inverse calculation. Division by zero calculates
-an unspecified result, but does not trap.
-
-@item inv:minlat
-A variant of @samp{inv} where, if no CSE or hoisting opportunities
-have been found, or if the entire operation has been hoisted to the same
-place, the last stages of the inverse calculation are intertwined with the
-final multiply to reduce the overall latency, at the expense of using a few
-more instructions, and thus offering fewer scheduling opportunities with
-other code.
-
-@item call
-Calls a library function that usually implements the @samp{inv:minlat}
-strategy.
-This gives high code density for @code{m5-*media-nofpu} compilations.
-
-@item call2
-Uses a different entry point of the same library function, where it
-assumes that a pointer to a lookup table has already been set up, which
-exposes the pointer load to CSE and code hoisting optimizations.
-
-@item inv:call
-@itemx inv:call2
-@itemx inv:fp
-Use the @samp{inv} algorithm for initial
-code generation, but if the code stays unoptimized, revert to the @samp{call},
-@samp{call2}, or @samp{fp} strategies, respectively. Note that the
-potentially-trapping side effect of division by zero is carried by a
-separate instruction, so it is possible that all the integer instructions
-are hoisted out, but the marker for the side effect stays where it is.
-A recombination to floating-point operations or a call is not possible
-in that case.
-
-@item inv20u
-@itemx inv20l
-Variants of the @samp{inv:minlat} strategy. In the case
-that the inverse calculation is not separated from the multiply, they speed
-up division where the dividend fits into 20 bits (plus sign where applicable)
-by inserting a test to skip a number of operations in this case; this test
-slows down the case of larger dividends. @samp{inv20u} assumes the case of a such
-a small dividend to be unlikely, and @samp{inv20l} assumes it to be likely.

-@item -mindexed-addressing
-@opindex mindexed-addressing
-Enable the use of the indexed addressing mode for SHmedia32/SHcompact.
-This is only safe if the hardware and/or OS implement 32-bit wrap-around
-semantics for the indexed addressing mode. The architecture allows the
-implementation of processors with 64-bit MMU, which the OS could use to
-get 32-bit addressing, but since no current hardware implementation supports
-this or any other way to make the indexed addressing mode safe to use in
-the 32-bit ABI, the default is @option{-mno-indexed-addressing}.
-
-@item -mgettrcost=@var{number}
-@opindex mgettrcost=@var{number}
-Set the cost assumed for the @code{gettr} instruction to @var{number}.
-The default is 2 if @option{-mpt-fixed} is in effect, 100 otherwise.
-
-@item -mpt-fixed
-@opindex mpt-fixed
-Assume @code{pt*} instructions won't trap. This generally generates
-better-scheduled code, but is unsafe on current hardware.
-The current architecture
-definition says that @code{ptabs} and @code{ptrel} trap when the target
-anded with 3 is 3.
-This has the unintentional effect of making it unsafe to schedule these
-instructions before a branch, or hoist them out of a loop. For example,
-@code{__do_global_ctors}, a part of @file{libgcc}
-that runs constructors at program
-startup, calls functions in a list which is delimited by @minus{}1. With the
-@option{-mpt-fixed} option, the @code{ptabs} is done before testing against @minus{}1.
-That means that all the constructors run a bit more quickly, but when
-the loop comes to the end of the list, the program crashes because @code{ptabs}
-loads @minus{}1 into a target register.
-
-Since this option is unsafe for any
-hardware implementing the current architecture specification, the default
-is @option{-mno-pt-fixed}. Unless specified explicitly with
-@option{-mgettrcost}, @option{-mno-pt-fixed} also implies @option{-mgettrcost=100};
-this deters register allocation from using target registers for storing
-ordinary integers.
-
-@item -minvalid-symbols
-@opindex minvalid-symbols
-Assume symbols might be invalid. Ordinary function symbols generated by
-the compiler are always valid to load with
