# COMPILE_PDB_NAME

New in version 3.1.

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

This property specifies the base name for the debug symbols file. If not set, the default is unspecified.

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` property to specify the latter.
