Controls size optimization for function termination instructions.
#pragma epilogue_helper_functions on | off | reset
When this pragma is on, the compiler reduces the size of object code in function terminations. It performs this optimization by replacing several instructions for function termination with fewer calls to special functions that perform the same tasks. This optimization reduces executable code size but also slows the program's performance.
When this pragma is on, the compiler generates instructions that may appear as inconsistent information in a symbolic debugger when stepping through the end of a function.
This pragma does not correspond to any panel setting. By default, this pragma is off. The compiler turns this optimization on implicitly when size optimization is on and optimization level is equal to or greater than 2. For example, these pragma settings will also turn on epilogue helper function generation:
#pragma optimization_level 2 #pragma optimize_for_size on
