/MAP (Generate Mapfile)

/MAP[:filename]

Remarks

where:

  • filename
    A user-specified name for the mapfile. It replaces the default name.

Remarks

The /MAP option tells the linker to create a mapfile.

By default, the linker names the mapfile with the base name of the program and the extension .map. The optional filename allows you to override 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 group's 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 mapfile.
