40 When compiling for HPPA, MLton targets the 32-bit HPPA architecture.
45 When compiling for HPPA, MLton doesn’t support native code
46 generation (<span class="monospaced">-codegen native</span>). Hence, performance is not as good as
47 it might be and compile times are longer. Also, the quality of code
48 generated by <span class="monospaced">gcc</span> is important. By default, MLton calls <span class="monospaced">gcc -O1</span>.
49 You can change this by calling MLton with <span class="monospaced">-cc-opt -O2</span>.
54 When compiling for HPPA, MLton uses <span class="monospaced">-align 8</span> by default. While
55 this speeds up reals, it also may increase object sizes. If your
56 program does not make significant use of reals, you might see a
57 speedup with <span class="monospaced">-align 4</span>.
