## Syntax

Linux: | -Bdynamic

macOS: | None

Windows: | None

## Arguments

None

## Default

OFF | Limited dynamic linking occurs.

## Description

This option enables dynamic linking of libraries at run time. Smaller executables are created than with static linking.

This option is placed in the linker command line corresponding to its location on the user command line. It controls the linking behavior of any library that is passed using the command line.

All libraries on the command line following option -Bdynamic are linked dynamically until the end of the command line or until a -Bstatic option is encountered. The -Bstatic option enables static linking of libraries.

### Note

This option only applies to host compilation. When offloading is enabled, it does not impact device-specific compilation. Offloading can only be enabled when using ifx.
