cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option "-O3"
The warning message "cl : Command line warning D9002: ignoring unknown option '-O3'" indicates that the cl
command, which is the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, is encountering an unknown or unsupported option -O3
.
The -O3
option is typically used in other compilers, such as GCC or Clang, to enable aggressive optimization levels. However, in Microsoft Visual C++, the equivalent option is /O2
.
To resolve this warning and ensure compatibility with the Visual C++ compiler, replace -O3
with /O2
in your build configuration or command line.
For example, if you have a command line that looks like this:
cl myfile.cpp -O3
Change it to:
cl myfile.cpp /O2
By using /O2
instead of -O3
, you will specify the correct optimization level for the Visual C++ compiler, and the warning message should no longer appear.
