No, it just controls how many link processes ninja starts in parallel. If those link processes use threads, like lld does by default, it is outside the control of ninja. Note that lld uses threads to speed up linking, but it might use more memory, so you could turn it off if you are memory constrained. -Dimitry --Apple-Mail=_1F225774-3A61-47BD-9CE3-22B7D08CC4DE Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.2 iF0EARECAB0WIQR6tGLSzjX8bUI5T82wXqMKLiCWowUCW31AfQAKCRCwXqMKLiCW oyt/AJ4kqoLdR1ZusuitzPa+oiQ6+nBncwCfdocDvjVJBqGTkVdnQ/mT3wFZ2Hc= =JDep -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_1F225774-3A61-47BD-9CE3-22B7D08CC4DE--
