3.4.164 –xprefetch_auto_type=indirect_array_access

Generate indirect prefetches for a data arrays accessed indirectly.

Generates indirect prefetches for the loops indicated by the option -xprefetch_level={1|2|3} in the same fashion the prefetches for direct memory accesses are generated. The prefix no% can be added to negate the declaration.

The default is -xprefetch_auto_type=no%indirect_array_access.

Requires -xprefetch=auto and an optimization level -xO3 or higher.

Options such as -xdepend can affect the aggressiveness of computing the indirect prefetch candidates and therefore the aggressiveness of the automatic indirect prefetch insertion due to better memory alias disambiguation information.
