* Q: '''How much detail should the presentation include?'''
** A: Each of these topics is pretty small and straightforward. Provide some type of resource for future reference -- a link to an existing web resource, a 1-page handout, or a blog post or wiki page about the topic. Your presentation should include:
**# The Option: The compiler option as described in the gcc documentation - What it is and why programmers write code in this way. Include a short example of actual codeit is provided.
**# The Impact: Write and compile code that is impacted by this particular compiler option. Identify the characteristics that must be present in the source code in order to benefit from this compiler option (for example: double-precision math, use of arrays, pointer math). Describe the effect of the option on performance, code size, and code readability. If there are any problems or dangers with this option, identify them.
**# Recommendation: Make a recommendation on when this compiler option should be used and when it should not be used.
