The /MACHINE_CODE qualifier controls whether the listing file contains a list of compiler generated machine code. The format of the /MACHINE_CODE qualifier is as follows: /[NO]MACHINE_CODE The /MACHINE_CODE qualifier has no effect unless you also specify the /LISTING qualifier. If you specify the /MACHINE_CODE qualifier with the /OPTIMIZE qualifier, the machine code listing may not reflect the actual code executed for a given statement nor the order of execution. The /NOMACHINE_CODE qualifier suppresses compiler generated machine code in the listing file. The default is /NOMACHINE_CODE.
