COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY — CMake 3.10.2 Documentation

# COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

Output directory for the MS debug symbol `.pdb` file generated by the compiler while building source files.

This property specifies the directory into which the MS debug symbols will be placed by the compiler. This property is initialized by the value of the `CMAKE_COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` variable if it is set when a target is created.

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_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` property to specify the latter.
