/OBJECT[=file-spec] (D) /NOOBJECT Controls whether the compiler produces an object file. By default, the compiler produces an object file with the same file name as the input file and a default file type of OBJ. However, you can define a different file name or a different file type by specifying /OBJECT=file-spec. Specify /NOOBJECT to speed up compilations during program development and when you want to check syntax.
