<p>Advises the compiler that each <i>quality</i> should be given attention
according to the specified corresponding <i>value</i>.
Each <i>quality</i> must be a <i>symbol</i> naming an <i>optimize quality</i>; 
the names and meanings of the standard <i>optimize qualities</i> are shown in 
Figure 3&ndash;25.

<p>There may be other, <i>implementation-defined</i> <i>optimize qualities</i>.
</p>
<p>A <i>value</i> <tt>0</tt> means that the corresponding <i>quality</i> is totally
unimportant, and <tt>3</tt> that the <i>quality</i> is extremely important;
<tt>1</tt> and <tt>2</tt> are intermediate values, with <tt>1</tt> the 
neutral value.
<tt>(<i>quality</i> 3)</tt> can be abbreviated to <i>quality</i>.
</p>
<p>Note that <i>code</i> which has the optimization <tt>(safety 3)</tt>,
or just <b>safety</b>,
is called <i>safe</i> <i>code</i>.
</p>
<p>The consequences are unspecified if a <i>quality</i> appears more than once
with <i>different</i> <i>values</i>.

<p>An <b>optimize</b> declaration never applies to either a <i>variable</i> or

be a <i>free declaration</i>.  For more information, see <a href="Declaration-Scope.html">Declaration Scope</a>.
