Intel® Shared Libraries

By default, the Intel® C++ Compiler links Intel-provided C++ libraries dynamically. The GNU* and Linux* system libraries are also linked dynamically.

Options for Shared Libraries

Option Description
-i_dynamic Use the -i_dynamic option to link Intel-provided C++ libraries dynamically (default). This has the advantage of reducing the size of the application binary, but it also requires the libraries to be on the systems where the application runs.
-shared The -shared option instructs the compiler to build a Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) instead of an executable. For more details, refer to the ld man page documentation.
