/PDBSTRIPPED (Strip Private Symbols)

/PDBSTRIPPED:pdb_file_name

Arguments

pdb_file_name
A user-specified name for the stripped program database (PDB) that the linker creates.

Remarks

The /PDBSTRIPPED option creates a second program database (PDB) file when you build your program image with any of the compiler or linker options that generate a PDB file (/DEBUG, /Z7, /Zd, or /Zi). This second PDB file omits symbols that you would not want to ship to your customers. The second PDB file will only contain:

  • Public symbols

  • The list of object files and the portions of the executable to which they contribute

  • Frame pointer optimization (FPO) debug records used to traverse the stack

The stripped PDB file will not contain:

  • Type information

  • Line number information

  • Per-object file CodeView symbols such as those for functions, locals, and static data

The full PDB file will still be generated when you use /PDBSTRIPPED.

If you do not create a PDB file, /PDBSTRIPPED is ignored.
