-ALLOW_DUPLICATE_MODULE_NAME [V2.02.00 or later]

This option allows a library to be generated from multiple same module names.

[Specification format]

-allow_duplicate_module_name

-	Interpretation when omitted None

[Detailed description]

-	This option allows multiple input files with the same module name to be specified to generate a library.

-	If the library already contains a module having the same name with other modules to be registered in the library, the other modules are renamed by adding a postfix number ".<N>".

-	<N> is assigned a number as a unique module name in the generating library. If can't assigned a unique number, The linker will output the error message and quit.

[Example of use]

-	To generate a library a.lib from multiple input files having the same module name (mod), describe as:

> rlink -allow_duplicate_module_name -form=lib -output=a.lib b\mod.obj c\mod.obj d\mod.obj

The command line above leads to generate a library a.lib containing the following modules:

-	mod (originally b\mod.obj)

-	mod.1 (originally c\mod.obj)

-	mod.2 (originally d\mod.obj)

[Remark]

-	If the -form={ object\|absolute\|relocate\|hexadecimal\|stype\|binary }, -strip, or -extract option is specified, this option will be invalid.
