The Inoignorecase
option
Example:
This example causes
the line-number information in the object file
Jile.obj to be copied to the map fileJile.map:
link file/linenumbers"em+slibfp
Preserving Lowercase
Syntax:
Inoignorecase
The Inoignorecase option directs link to treat uppercase and
lowercase letters in symbol names as distinct letters. Normally,
link considers uppercase and lowercase letters to be identical,
treating
the words "1WO", "two", and "Two" as the same symbol.
When you use the Inoignorecase option, however, the linker
treats "1WO", "two", and "Two"
as different symbols.
Typically, you use
the Inoignorecase option with object files
created by high-level-language compilers. Some compilers treat
uppercase and lowercase letters as distinct letters and assume the
linker does the same.
If
you are linking modules created with MASM to modules created
with a case-sensitive language such as C, make sure public sym-
bols have
the same sensitivity in both modules. For example, you
could make all variables in C distinctive by spelling, regardless of
case, and then link without the Inoignorecase option. Another
alternative
would be to use the IML or MX option to make public
variables in
MASM case-sensitive. Then link with the
Inoignorecase option.

Example:
The following command causes the linker to treat uppercase and
lowercase letters in symbol names as distinct letters.
The object
file Jile.obj is linked with routines from the standard C language
library
\Slibc.lib located in the \ lib directory. The C language
expects uppercase and lowercase letters to be treated distinctly:
link file1+file2/noi",em+mlibfp
