Description

This option tells the compiler to optimize across multiple files and generate a single object file (named ipo_out.o on Linux and Mac OS systems; ipo_out.obj on Windows systems).

It performs the same optimizations as -ipo (Linux and Mac OS) or /Qipo (Windows), but compilation stops before the final link stage, leaving an optimized object file that can be used in further link steps.
