Do I have to use “-M” switch when building filter drivers on multiprocessors
environment ? How/What this switch will make difference ?
If you are building ON a multi-processor, it will speed up the builds.
This option (“-M”) multi-threads the build process so that independent
components are built “in parallel” in order to take advantage of the
presence of multiple processors.
The binary image constructed with, or without, the “-M” should be
essentially identical (“essentially” because anything that changes the
timing of the build would yield a different timestamp in the generated
binary, for instance.)
