If you want to save information about the compiler in your executable, use the [Q]sox option to save:
To view the information stored in the object file, use the objdump command. For example:
objdump -sj comment a.out strings -a a.out | grep comment:
To view the linker directives stored in string format in the object file, use the link command. For example:
link /dump /directives filename.obj
In the output, the ?-comment linker directive displays the compiler version information. To search your executable for compiler information, use the findstr command. For example, to search for any strings that contain the substring "Compiler":
findstr "Compiler" filename.exe
