-# (pound sign)
Purpose
Previews the compilation steps that are specified on the command line, without actually invoking any compiler components. When this option is enabled, information is written to standard output, showing the names of the programs within the compiler and linker that would be invoked, and the default options that would be specified for each program. The compiler and linker are not invoked. This option applies to both compiling and linking.
Syntax
Defaults
The compiler does not display the progress of the compilation.Usage
You can use this command to determine the commands and files that are involved in a particular compilation. It avoids the overhead of compiling the source code and overwriting any existing files, such as.lst files. This option
displays the same information as -v, but does not
invoke the compiler. The -# option overrides the -v option.
