/LINKREPROFULLPATHRSP (Generate file containing absolute paths of linked files)

Generates a response file (.RSP) containing the absolute paths of all the files the linker took as input.

This flag was introduced in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.11.

Syntax

/LINKREPROFULLPATHRSP:filename

Argument

filename
Specifies the name of the response file to create. When expanded, the fully qualified filename must not exceed MAX_PATH (260 characters).

Remarks

Rather than generate a full link repro like /LINKREPRO, which copies all the files to a directory and creates a response file with relative paths to that directory, this option writes the names of the files used during linking to the specified file.

For example, given:

  • a directory c:\temp\test that contains the files test.cpp, f1.cpp, f2.cpp
  • the linker command line: link f1.obj f2.obj test.obj /out:test.exe /LINKREPROFULLPATHRSP:test.rsp The linker produces test.rsp containing the following lines to reflect the fully qualified paths of the input files:
"c:\temp\test\f1.obj"
"c:\temp\test\f2.obj"
"c:\temp\test\test.obj"

To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment

  1. Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.
  2. Select the Configuration Properties > Linker > Command Line property page.
  3. Enter /LINKREPROFULLPATHRSP:file.rsp into Additional Options. Choose OK or Apply to apply the change.
