The `optimize` attribute was malformed. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail,E0722 #![feature(optimize_attribute)] #[optimize(something)] // error: invalid argument pub fn something() {} ``` The `#[optimize]` attribute should be used as follows: - `#[optimize(size)]` -- instructs the optimization pipeline to generate code that's smaller rather than faster - `#[optimize(speed)]` -- instructs the optimization pipeline to generate code that's faster rather than smaller For example: ``` #![feature(optimize_attribute)] #[optimize(size)] pub fn something() {} ``` See [RFC 2412] for more details.
