Program .asm header question

[jdoe]

Hi,

I would like to know what theses lines are saying to the compiler ?


1) option proc:private

2) .nolist

3) .nocref


Thanks

For .nolist, .nocref, etc see the Directives Reference here:

MSDN: Microsoft Macro Assembler Reference

And for option proc:private see:

Thanks Michael

For option proc:private I know now why to use it (and made usage of it in my current project).


But for .nolist and .nocref, after reading all I could found, Am I right to say that...

1) these directives are only needed for customizing the listing file

2) these directives won't modify the final compiled program

[MichaelW]

1. Yes, but these directives work in combination with the ML command line to control the contents of the listing file.

2. AFAIK these directives have no effect on the final compiled program.

Sometimes, basic stuff are not explained too much because they are assumed to be obvious but for a newbie like me, I need those clarifications to go forward with masm.
And english not being my primary language, it's not as easy as it should. But give up is not an option for me.

Thanks again Michael
