CMP0202

PDB file names always include their target's per-config POSTFIX.

Program database files (.pdb) are always named with their target's DEBUG_POSTFIX or <CONFIG>_POSTFIX target property value.

If the PDB_NAME target property is defined, CMake 4.1 and below exclude the target's per-config postfix from the program data base file name. Otherwise, the per-config postfix is included. This is inconsistent. CMake 4.2 and above prefer to always name the program database file with the per-config postfix regardless how the name is computed, i.e., using OUTPUT_NAME, or PDB_NAME, or neither. This policy provides compatibility with projects that have not been updated to account for the new behavior.

The OLD behavior for this policy does not use the per-config postfix in .pdb file names if the PDB_NAME target property is defined. The NEW behavior always uses the per-config postfix in .pdb file names.

This policy was introduced in CMake version 4.2. It may be set by cmake_policy() or cmake_minimum_required(). If it is not set, CMake does not warn, and uses OLD behavior.
