1.3.24 $O : Level 2 Optimizations

In earlier versions of FPC, this switch was recognized for Turbo Pascal compatibility, but was otherwise ignored: The concept of overlay code is not needed in 32-bit or 64-bit programs.

In newer versions of FPC (certainly as of 2.0.0), this switch became a Delphi compatible switch: it has the same meaning as the {$OPTIMIZATION ON/OFF} switch, switching on or off level 2 optimizations.

See section 1.2.59 on page 153 for more explanations and more detailed optimization settings.
