The /Zs switch instructs the compiler to scan your code and check for
syntax errors. This switch does not generate any code. Switches that
assume code will be generated do not have any effect when used in
conjunction with /Zs.

Therefore, if you are using the /Zs switch and are unaware of the fact
that it does not generate any code, it may appear that other switches,
such as the /Fa switch, which generates an assembly listing, do not
function.
