Does function-level linking in VC++ have any negative effects?

Question

Visual C++ has function-level linking. Looks like it's a great thing - it can reduce the size of generated executables.

Does it have any negative effects? Will I have to pay anything for the advantages of this option or can I just turn it on and enjoy the benefits?

Answer 1

Actually, there could be some small increase of compilation time. I don't think that it can affect negativily anything else.
