[edk2] [Patch 0/2] Add /Gw to CC_FLAGS for VS 2013 and higher tool chains
Posted by Yonghong Zhu 6 years, 9 months ago
The /Gw flag does a better job at size optimization than use of the
GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED macro that is currently used for VS20xx
tool chains to remove unreferenced global variables.

The recommendation is to add /Gw to CC_FLAGS for VS2013 and higher
tool chain tags and update Base.h in MdePkg to check the _MSC_VER
and define GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED to nothing for VS2013 and
higher tool chain tags.
