Hi,

Recently I started using Windbg(x64), To play with it, I have compiled(x64) a sample program using

cl.exe ls.c /Zi /Od /GS-

Interestingly the functions generated for the executable contain FPO optimization. Below is the snippet of the disassembly of a routine.

0:000> uf ls!GetDateString
ls!GetDateString:
00007ff7`459a6d00 mov     qword ptr [rsp+8],rcx
00007ff7`459a6d05 sub     rsp,88h
00007ff7`459a6d0c mov     qword ptr [rsp+58h],0
00007ff7`459a6d15 mov     qword ptr [rsp+50h],0
00007ff7`459a6d1e mov     eax,dword ptr [ls!dateType (00007ff7`45a14494)]
00007ff7`459a6d24 and     eax,1
00007ff7`459a6d27 test    eax,eax
00007ff7`459a6d29 je      ls!GetDateString+0x3e (00007ff7`459a6d3e)

May I know how can I disable this FPO optimization on x64 VC++ compilers. Looking at the official documentation it seems we cannot disable it via /Oy- switch https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2kxx5t2c.aspx

/Oy enables frame-pointer omission and /Oy- disables omission. /Oy is available only in x86 compilers.

I am wondering if this flag is only available for x86, then how come the x64 windows routines like FileTimeToSystemTime has FPO disabled!
