I'm using Codeblocks for a C program on Windows 7. The program is using the OMP library. GCC version is 4.9.2. Mingw x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.9.2.exe.
Flags used are: -fopenmp -O3 -mfpmath=sse -funroll-loops -ftree-loop-distribution -ftree-vectorize -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=2.
The program runs correctly but the problem is that it doesn't show information on what loops were vectorized or not. How can I solve it?

CodeBlocks is an IDE. It doesn't compile anything. GCC does. The -ftree-vectorizer-verbose used to work in previous versions. Now there's -fopt-info, which allows to retrieve information about optimizations (vectorization too); you can find the relevant documentation here.
It is even shown how to actually retrieve the vectorizer output to stderr:
and this one:
gcc -O2 -ftree-vectorize -fopt-info-vec-missedprints information about missed optimization opportunities from vectorization passes on stderr. Note that -fopt-info-vec-missed is equivalent to -fopt-info-missed-vec.
You can change missed to e.g. optimized, all and so on as listed.
