This instructs Mono to precompile code that has historically not been
precompiled with AOT.

+.I data-outfile=FILE.dll.aotdata
+.Sp
+This instructs the AOT code generator to output certain data
+constructs into a separate file. This can reduce the executable
+images some five to twenty percent. Developers need to then ship the
+resulting aotdata as a resource and register a hook to load the data
+on demand by using the
+.I mono_install_load_aot_data_hook

.I llvm-path=<PREFIX>
Same for the llvm tools 'opt' and 'llc'.

+.I gen-seq-points-file=FILE.msym
+Instructs the AOT compiler to generate offline sequence points .msym files.
+The path is optional, if none is passed then a .msym file will be generated
+next to the input assembly.
+.TP
.I mtriple=<TRIPLE>
Use the GNU style target triple <TRIPLE> to determine some code generation options, i.e.
--mtriple=armv7-linux-gnueabi will generate code that targets ARMv7. This is currently
The maintainer options are only used by those developing the runtime

+\fB--bisect=optimization:filename\fR
+This flag is used by the automatic optimization bug bisector. It
+takes an optimization flag and a filename of a file containing a list
+of full method names, one per line. When it compiles one of the
+methods in the file it will use the optimization given, in addition to
+the optimizations that are otherwise enabled. Note that if the
+optimization is enabled by default, you should disable it with `-O`,
+otherwise it will just apply to every method, whether it's in the file
+or not.
+.TP
\fB--break method\fR
Inserts a breakpoint before the method whose name is `method'
(namespace.class:methodname). Use `Main' as method name to insert a

A list of other third party profilers is available from Mono's web

If set, the log mask is changed to the set value. Possible values are
"asm" (assembly loader), "type", "dll" (native library loader), "gc"
(garbage collector), "cfg" (config file loader), "aot" (precompiler),
-"security" (e.g. Moonlight CoreCLR support) and "all".

+"io-threadpool" (thread pool I/O), "io-layer" (I/O layer - sockets, handles, shared memory etc)

The default value is "all". Changing the mask value allows you to display only
messages for a certain component. You can use multiple masks by comma
separating them. For example to see config file messages and assembly loader

When Mono is compiled with LLVM support, this instructs the runtime to
stop using LLVM after the specified number of methods are JITed.

-\fBMONO_ENABLE_SHM\fR
-Unix only: Enable support for cross-process handles. Cross-process
-handles are used to expose process handles, thread handles, named
-mutexes, named events and named semaphores across Unix processes.
+\fBMONO_ENABLE_COOP\fR
+This makes the Mono runtime and the SGen garbage collector run in cooperative
+mode as opposed to run on preemptive mode. Preemptive mode is the mode
+that Mono has used historically, going back to the Boehm days, where the
+garbage collector would run at any point and suspend execution of all
+threads as required to perform a garbage collection. The cooperative mode
+on the other hand requires the cooperation of all threads to stop at a
+safe point. This makes for an easier to debug garbage collector. As
+of Mono 4.3.0 it is a work in progress, and while it works, it has not
+been used extensively. This option enabled the feature and allows us to
+find spots that need to be tuned for this mode of operation. Alternatively,
+this mode can be enabled at compile time by using the --with-cooperative-gc
+flag when calling configure.
