I’ve had a search around and can find a few examples of using Visual Studio menus to suppress creation of PDB files. I need to do this for a project I’m building, however, this requires using the Visual Studio compiler from the command line only. Is there a command line switch for disabling PDB generation?
When you navigate through project settings in Visual Studio, most options tell you what their equivalent command-line switch is.
To disable link-time PDB generation, omit the
/DEBUGswitch.To disable compile-time PDB generation, omit the
/Zswitch (/Z{7|i|I}).[Edit] Oh, in fact if you use the
/Z7switch, the debug information is generated into the object file instead of a PDB. So that particular one is okay. Compilation is faster without it, however. So omit if you don’t want any debug information.
