COMPILE_PDB_NAME_<CONFIG>

Added in version 3.1.

Per-configuration output name for the MS debug symbol .pdb file generated by the compiler while building source files.

This is the configuration-specific version of COMPILE_PDB_NAME.

Added in version 4.1: Contents of COMPILE_PDB_NAME_<CONFIG> may use generator expressions.

If the PRECOMPILE_HEADERS_REUSE_FROM target is set, this property is ignored and the reusage target's value of this property is used instead.

Note

The compiler-generated program database files are specified by the /Fd compiler flag and are not the same as linker-generated program database files specified by the /pdb linker flag. Use the PDB_NAME_<CONFIG> property to specify the latter.
