Version 5.10 of the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) includes a new command-line
option, /LA, which adds all code generated by the assembler to the listing
file.

This option was omitted from the Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1 Reference, but is
given as an option by the command masm /help.

directives and code generated by the high-level language support features. The
following is a sample source file with simplified segment directives and a
