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.
