  /[NO]OBJECT[=file-spec]         D=/OBJECT

  Controls whether the compiler produces an object file.

  If you omit the file specification, the object file has the name of
  the first source file and a file type of OBJ.

  Specify /NOOBJECT to suppress the generation of object code (for
  example, when you want to test only for compilation errors in the
  source program).
