This option tells the linker to create a mapfile.
/MAP[:filename]
The following table shows settings for the /MAP option.
| Command Line | Settings | Description |
|---|---|---|
| /MAP | Generate Mapfile | The linker names the mapfile with the base name of the program and the extension .map. |
| /MAP:filename | Mapfile Name | This option overrides the default name for a mapfile. |
A mapfile is a text file that contains the following information about the program being linked:
- The module name, which is the base name of the file
- The timestamp from the program file header (not from the file system)
- A list of groups in the program, with each groups start address (as section:offset), length, group name, and class
- A list of public symbols, with each address (as section:offset), symbol name, flat address, and .obj file where the symbol is defined
- The entry point (as section:offset)
The /MAPINFO option specifies additional information to be included in the map file.
