Description
This option places each data item 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 data item in its own section, it enables the linker to reorder the sections for other possible optimization.
Alternate Options
None
