Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────/CO Option─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Syntax:  /CO[DEVIEW]
 
     The /CO option adds line numbers and symbolic data to the main
     output file for use with the Microsoft CodeView(R) debugger. /CO
     has no effect if the object files do not contain CodeView
     debugging information.
 
     You can run the resulting executable file outside CodeView; the
     debugging information in the file is ignored and is not put into
     the load image. However, it increases file size and slows
     execution slightly. You should link a separate release version
     without the /CO option after the program has been debugged.
 
     When /CO is used with the /TINY option, debug information is put
     in a separate file with the same base name as the .COM file and
     with the .DBG extension.
     See: ◄/TINY Option►
 
     /CO is not compatible with /EXEPACK for DOS executable files.
