/ARCHITECTURE=options /ARCHITECTURE=GENERIC (D) Determines the x86-64 processor instruction set to be used by the compiler. The /ARCHITECTURE qualifier uses the same keyword options (keywords) as the /OPTIMIZE=TUNE qualifier. Where the /OPTIMIZE=TUNE qualifier is primarily used by certain higher-level optimizations for instruction scheduling purposes, the /ARCHITECTURE qualifier determines the type of code instructions generated for the program unit being compiled. The following /ARCHITECTURE option is supported: Currently ignored for x86-64 systems but we expect to provide options to pass along to the LLVM code generator to select specific machine attributes.
