Description
The $SYMBOL_TABLE setting determines the automatic behavior for handling symbol tables during compilation. It can be overridden by the /sym command line switch.
During compilation, symbol tables containing
object references are always internally available. They are used to generate cross-reference data,
either directly ($SYMBOL_TABLE=2 or 3), or by importing symbol
tables from files (generated when $SYMBOL_TABLE=1 or 3.
Compilation performance can be slower when generating cross-reference data. It is usually preferable to generate symbol table files on a regular basis and generate or update cross-reference data when required.
