The /NOE Option

Option

/NOE[[XTDICTIONARY]]

The /NOE option prevents the linker from searching extended dictionaries when resolving references. An extended dictionary is a list of symbol locations in a library created with LIB. The linker consults extended dictionaries to speed up library searches. Using /NOE slows the linker.

When LINK uses extended dictionaries, it gives an error if a duplicate definition is found. Use this option when you redefine a symbol and an error occurs. For more information, see “How LINK Resolves References”.
