section.

Arguments

Default
- OFF
- The compiler does not separate functions into COMDATs.
Description
This option places each function in its own COMDAT
section.
When using this compiler option, you can add the linker option
-Wl,--gc-sections
(LInux) or
/link /OPT:REF
(Windows), which will remove all unused code.
When you put each function in its own section, it
enables the linker to reorder the sections for other possible optimization.
