.linkonce [
type]
Mark the current section so that the linker only includes a single copy of it.
This may be used to include the same section in several different object files,
but ensure that the linker will only include it once in the final output file.
The .linkonce
pseudo-op must be used for each instance of the section.
Duplicate sections are detected based on the section name, so it should be
unique.
This directive is only supported by a few object file formats; as of this writing, the only object file format which supports it is the Portable Executable format used on Windows NT.
The type argument is optional. If specified, it must be one of the following strings. For example:
.linkonce same_size
Not all types may be supported on all object file formats.
discard
one_only
same_size
same_contents
