Syntax

Linux and Mac OS: -unroll[n]
Windows:  /Qunroll[:n]

Arguments

n Is the maximum number of times a loop can be unrolled. To disable loop enrolling, specify 0.
On systems using IA-64 architecture, you can only specify a value of 0.

Default

-unroll or
/Qunroll
The compiler uses default heuristics when unrolling loops.

Description
