/Qsox option to save compiler options and version info

[vivekrao4]

If I compile a program with the /Qsox option, how can I extract the compiler options and version info from the executable? Thanks.

From the executable? Notepad or some utility that searches for strings. Also, if you are using VS2005, then the string won't be there. You can get it from the object with "dumpbin -directives".

I know the keyword here is executable, but what if I want to have the data tucked into the obj? As in a string that might look like:

ifort Version 9.1 Build 20060925, ifort flags -Qzero -Od -Qopenmp -Z7 -MD -RTCu -Qsox -check:all

I guess I could use /bintext? ... is that the right thing to do?

/Qsox does place the string in the .obj.
