static

Prevents linking with shared libraries.

Syntax

Linux:

-static

Windows:

/static

Arguments

None

Default

varies

The compiler links with shared GNU libraries (Linux* systems) or shared Microsoft* libraries (Windows* systems) and it links with static Intel libraries, with the exception of the OpenMP* libraries and coarray library libicaf, which are linked in dynamically.

On Windows* systems, option /static is equivalent to option /MT.

Description

This option prevents linking with shared libraries. It causes the executable to link all libraries statically.

NOTE:

This option does not cause static linking of libraries for which no static version is available, such as the OpenMP runtime libraries on Windows* or the coarray runtime libraries. These libraries can only be linked dynamically.

NOTE:

This option only applies to host compilation. When offloading is enabled, it does not impact device-specific compilation.

IDE Equivalent

None

Alternate Options

None
