Description
This option tells the compiler to save the compilation
options in the executable file. The information is embedded as a string in each
object file or assembly output.
When you specify this option, the size of the executable
on disk is increased slightly. When you link the object files into an
executable file, the linker places each of the information strings into the
header of the executable. It is then possible to use a tool, such as a strings
utility, to determine what options were used to build the executable file.
