--mlds-optimize

--mlds-optimise

Enable the MLDS->MLDS optimization passes.

--mlds-peephole

Perform peephole optimization of the MLDS.

--optimize-tailcalls

--optimise-tailcalls

Turn self-tailcalls into loops.

--optimize-initializations

--optimise-initializations

Whenever possible, convert the first assignment to each local variable in the target code into an initializer on its declaration. Some target language compilers can generate faster code that way.

--eliminate-local-vars
