Subject: How to understand the term 'unit' in 'unit-at-a-time'?
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:35:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1807a3db0903250035y5db7cf64qe68b43c362e468b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

      Hi Everyone:

      GCC now has two styles for compilation, one for
'function-at-atime', and the other for 'unit-at-a-time'.
      The term 'unit' in this word refers to a whole source file ? or
something else.

      Could someone make an exact definition about it?
      And How the compiler make the decision that if the functions are
in the same compilation unit.

      Thanks a lot~
