# static-intel

Causes Intel-provided libraries to be linked in statically. This content is specific to C++; it does not apply to DPC++.

## Syntax

Linux: | -static-intel

Windows: | None

## Arguments

None

## Default

ON | Intel® libraries are linked in statically, with the exception of Intel's OpenMP* runtime support library, which is linked in dynamically unless you specify option -qopenmp-link=static.

## Description

This option causes Intel-provided libraries to be linked in statically with certain exceptions (see the Default above). It is the opposite of -shared-intel.

This option is processed by the icx or icpx command that initiates linking, adding library names explicitly to the link command.

If you specify option -static-intel while option -mcmodel=medium or -mcmodel=large is set, an error will be displayed.

If you specify option -static-intel and any of the Intel-provided libraries have no static version, a diagnostic will be displayed.
