/PDB (Use Program Database)

/PDB:filename

Arguments

filename
A user-specified name for the program database (PDB) that the linker creates. It replaces the default name.

Remarks

By default, when /DEBUG is specified, the linker creates a program database (PDB) which holds debugging information. The default file name for the PDB has the base name of the program and the extension .pdb.

Use /PDB:filename to specify the name of the PDB file. If /DEBUG is not specified, the /PDB option is ignored.

A PDB file can be up to 2GB.

For more information, see .pdb Files as Linker Input.
