Summary:
SYMPTOMS
The /Gm compiler option for moving strings to the const segment is
not supported in C versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax. The compiler will
permit /Gm to be specified on the command line, but no
functionality is attached to the option.
In C versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax, no warnings are displayed to
inform you that /Gm is not performing any function, and strings are
not moved to the const segment. In addition, the online help
incorrectly lists /Gm as a valid option. However, the README.DOC
correctly notes that the option has been removed.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0 generates an "unknown switch" warning
for /Gm.
