c - Determine optimization level in preprocessor?

Question

-Og is a relatively new optimization option that is intended to improve the debugging experience while apply optimizations. If a user selects -Og, then I'd like my source files to activate alternate code paths to enhance the debugging experience. GCC offers the __OPTIMIZE__ preprocessor macro, but its only set to 1 when optimizations are in effect.

Is there a way to learn the optimization level, like -O1, -O3 or -Og, for use with the preprocessor?

Answer 1

I don't know if this is clever hack, but it is a hack.

$ gcc -Xpreprocessor -dM -E - < /dev/null > 1
$ gcc -Xpreprocessor -dM -O -E - < /dev/null > 2
$ diff 1 2

< #define __NO_INLINE__ 1

clang didn't produce the FORTIFY one.
