Support for the 8086 memory model was provided by inline assembly, compiler options, and language extensions such as the "absolute" keyword.

It may belong to any class, but if this is different from , it must be specified as a compiler option.

It is challenging to create binaries from source code that match the official binaries bit-by-bit for purposes of verifying their integrity due to compiler options, etc.

The preceding issue can be alleviated using this compiler option:

It is typically coupled to a runtime dump or diagnostic, and can be removed by compiler option.

Managed C++ for CLI is still available via compiler options though.
