Is there any way to read from compiled code what CCFLAGS (particularly the optimizations) were set at compile time?

  • I think your question is a duplicate of stackoverflow.com/questions/2387040/… but given it's on a different SE site I can't report it through the "flag" button.

  • @Shadok almost what he wants: your link refers to reading the GCC version, the asker wants to know if he can find the CFLAGS used for building the binary.

    Sorry I think I swapped two links, here the one I wanted to link: stackoverflow.com/questions/189350/…

    Thanks Shadok - if you add this as an answer I'll accept it. In my case the code was compiled with gcc 4.5 :) but the binary in question has been stripped :(

Apparently there is but only with gcc >= 4.3,the switch -frecord-gcc-switches causes the whole command line to be put into ASCII commentaries.
