Bug description

  1. In files config\Makefile{mingw,msvc}, we use

FLEXDIR=$(shell $(FLEXLINK) -where)

to invoke flexlink to find where it is, but this command is ran very time when flexlink's directory is referred. We only need to invoke flexlink once and get its locate.

So we can change above command to (note the colon):

FLEXDIR:=$(shell $(FLEXLINK) -where)

  1. MSVC has deprecated -Ox, -O2 (optimized for speed) is a better replacement.

Thanks! Your diff starts from "BYTECCCOMPOPTS=-Ox -MD", but "/Ox /MD" is currently used in the trunk. From which version did you create the diff?

I reported another issue which changes /Ox /MD to -Ox -MD before
#6181

and it is committed to version 4.02 branch.

Is it possible to change merge that patch to trunk first, then commit this?

Committed to 4.02 branch (rev 15461) and to trunk (along with the changes of #6181) (rev 15462).

Waiting for test results before I close this PR.

Unfortunately, the change breaks the testsuite. Investigation reveals that:

-Ox is equivalent to -Ob2 -Og -Oi -Ot -Oy
-O2 is equivalent to -Ob2 -Og -Oi -Ot -Oy -Gs -GF -Gy

On our test machines, -Og -Gy breaks the tool-debugger tests, probably because of something related to dynamic linking.

I switched to -O2 -Gy- but only in trunk because this needs further testing. In the 4.02 branch I'm reverting to -Ox. (commits 15476 and 15477)
