title: Does function-level linking in VC++ have any negative effects?
body: <p>Visual C++ has <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xsa71f43(VS.80).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">function-level linking</a>. Looks like it's a great thing - it can reduce the size of generated executables.</p>
  
  <p>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?</p>
