Arguments

filename

Is the name for the PDB file. It can include a path. If you do not specify a file extension, the extension .pdb is used.

Default

OFF

No PDB file is created unless you specify option /Zi. If you specify option /Zi and /Fd, the default filename is vcx0.pdb, where x represents the version of Visual C++, for example vc100.pdb.

Description

This option lets you specify a name for a program database (PDB) file that is created by the compiler.

A program database (PDB) file holds debugging and project state information that allows incremental linking of a Debug configuration of your program. A PDB file is created when you build with option /Zi. Option /Fd has no effect unless you specify option /Zi.
