Description
This option tells the compiler which features it may target, including which instruction sets it may generate.
Code generated with these options should execute on any compatible, non-Intel processor with support for the corresponding instruction set.
This option only applies to host compilation. When offloading is enabled, it does not impact device-specific compilation. Offloading can only be enabled when using ifx.
