<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.

<p>

ProGuard also provides some unofficial settings to control optimizations, that
may disappear in future versions. These are Java system properties, which
can be set as JVM arguments (with <code>-D.....)</code>:
<dl>
<dt><code><b>maximum.inlined.code.length</b></code> (default = 8 bytes)</dt>
<dd>Specifies the maximum code length (expressed in bytes) of short methods
    that are eligible to be inlined. Inlining methods that are too long may
    unnecessarily inflate the code size.</dd>

<dt><code><b>maximum.resulting.code.length</b></code> (default = 8000 bytes
    for JSE, 2000 bytes for JME)</dt>
<dd>Specifies the maximum resulting code length (expressed in bytes) allowed
    when inlining methods. Many Java virtual machines do not apply just-in-time
    compilation to methods that are too long, so it's important not to let them
    grow too large.</dd>

<dt><code><b>optimize.conservatively</b></code> (default = unset)</dt>
<dd>Allows input code with ordinary instructions intentionally throwing
    <code>NullPointerException</code>,
    <code>ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException</code>, or
    <code>ClassCastException</code>, without any other useful purposes. By
    default, ProGuard may just discard such seemingly useless instructions,
    resulting in better optimization of most common code.</dd>
