linker.
Syntax
Linux:
-Xlinker
option
Windows:
None
Arguments
- option
- Is a linker option.
Default
- OFF
- No options are passed directly to the linker.
Description
This option passes a linker option directly to the
linker. If
-Xlinker -shared
is
specified, only
-shared
is passed to the
linker and no special work is done to ensure proper linkage for generating a
shared object.
-Xlinker
just takes
whatever arguments are supplied and passes them directly to the linker.
If you want to pass compound options to the linker, for
example "
-L $HOME/lib
",
you must use the following method:
-Xlinker -L -Xlinker $HOME/lib
This option only applies to host compilation. When
offloading is enabled, it does not impact device-specific compilation.
