/[no]object

Syntax:

/object[:filename], /noobject, or /Fofilename

The /object or /Fo option names the object file filename. Specify /noobject to prevent creation of an object file. The default is /object, where the file name is the same as the first source file with a file extension of .OBJ.

If you omit /compile_only (or /c) and specify /object:filename or /Fofilename, the /object option names the object file filename.

If you specify /object:filename or /Fofilename and specify the /compile_only option, the /object or /Fo option causes multiple Fortran input files (if specified) to be compiled into a single object file. This allows interprocedural optimizations to occur at higher optimization levels, which usually improves run-time performance.
