3.19.56 VAX Options

These ‘-m’ options are defined for the VAX:

-munix

Do not output certain jump instructions (aobleq and so on) that the Unix assembler for the VAX cannot handle across long ranges.

-mgnu

Do output those jump instructions, on the assumption that the GNU assembler is being used.

-mg

Output code for G-format floating-point numbers instead of D-format.

-mlra

-mno-lra

Enable Local Register Allocation. This is still experimental for the VAX, so by default the compiler uses standard reload.
