it's true that if the author of qb64 didn't activate these optimizations options, you have to wonder about the reason. maybe he tried and found some anomalies. in my tests of both versions, i didn't see any visible problem but i'm not the designer and i didn't really examine thoroughly the source code of qb64. the only thing i noticed is that the programs are much faster in graphical commands, computations, sorting algorithms, string manipulations. ... the speed gain is so important that I decided to take the risk. I appreciate the speed of development with qb64. I intend to use it for console programs in bash scripts for personal use. for this kind of processing, speed is essential. that said, you are right. it would be necessary to make thorough tests before activating by default these optimization options.
