/Fd (Name PDB File)

/Fdpathname

This option specifies a file name for the program database (PDB) file created by /Zi. Without /Fd, the PDB file name defaults to VC60.pdb.

If you specify a pathname that does not include a file name (the path ends in backslash, the compiler creates a PDB file named VC60.pdb in the specified directory.

If you specify a file name that does not include an extension, the compiler uses .pdb as the extension.

This option also names the state (.idb) file used for minimal rebuild and incremental compilation.

Example

This command line creates a .pdb file named PROG.pdb and an .idb file named PROG.idb:

CL /DDEBUG /Zi /FdPROG.PDB PROG.CPP
