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.
