When I compile a Release project (DEBUG is not enabled) in VS 2010, I’m seeing things like this in the generated EXE:

C:\Code\Test\Test\obj\x86\Release\Test.pdb

    Allthough i havent actually tried looking in the exe file, you can disable generation of pdb files (and presumably their inclusion in the exe) from the project properties under Build > Advanced > Debug info. if you set this value to ‘None’, nothing should be generated

    Even for release the default is to generate pdb files only.
