<h2>Optimizations</h2>
The optimization step of ProGuard can be switched off with the
<a href="usage.html#dontoptimize"><code>-dontoptimize</code></a> option. For
more fine-grained control over individual optimizations, experts can use the
<a href="usage.html#optimizations"><code>-optimizations</code></a> option,
with a filter based on the optimization names listed below. The filter works
like any <a href="usage.html#filters">filter</a> in ProGuard.
<p>
The following wildcards are supported:
<table cellspacing="10">
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>?</b></code></td>
<td>matches any single character in an optimization name.</td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"><code><b>*</b></code></td>
<td>matches any part of an optimization name.</td></tr>
</table>
An optimization that is preceded by an exclamation mark '<b>!</b>' is
<i>excluded</i> from further attempts to match with <i>subsequent</i>
optimization names in the filter. Make sure to specify filters correctly,
since they are not checked for potential typos.
<p>
For example,
"<code>code/simplification/variable,code/simplification/arithmetic</code>"
only performs the two specified peephole optimizations.
<p>
For example, "<code>!method/propagation/*</code>" performs all optimizations,
except the ones that propagate values between methods.
<p>
For example,
"<code>!code/simplification/advanced,code/simplification/*</code>" only
performs all peephole optimizations.
<p>
Some optimizations necessarily imply other optimizations. These are then
indicated. Note that the list is likely to change over time, as optimizations
are added and reorganized.
