Summary:

Pages 120-123 of the "Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler User's Guide"

version 5.1 manual describe options that can be used with the linker.

The manual states that these options have equivalent options that can

be used on the compiler command line. This subject can be confusing.

If you are compiling and linking through the CL driver, compile

options are available to pass options to the link command line. For

example, the /Fm option passes the /MAP option to the linker and a map

file is produced.

If a compiler option is not available for the linker option you want

to pass to the link command line, you can use the /link compile

option. The linker option can be given after the /link compile option

on the CL command line.
