/Fm (Name Mapfile)

Tells the linker to produce a mapfile containing a list of segments in the order in which they appear in the corresponding .exe file or DLL.

Syntax

/Fmpathname  

Remarks

By default, the mapfile is given the base name of the corresponding C or C++ source file with a .MAP extension.

Specifying /Fm has the same effect as if you had specified the /MAP (Generate Mapfile) linker option.

If you specify /c (Compile Without Linking) to suppress linking, /Fm has no effect.

Global symbols in a mapfile usually have one or more leading underscores because the compiler adds a leading underscore to variable names. Many global symbols that appear in the mapfile are used internally by the compiler and the standard libraries.
