  • Artikel

Causes the compiler to generate debugging information and place it in the output file(s).

/debug[+ | -]
' -or-
/debug:[full | pdbonly]

Arguments

Term

Definition

+ | -

Optional. Specifying + or /debug causes the compiler to generate debugging information and place it in a .pdb file. Specifying - has the same effect as not specifying /debug.

full | pdbonly

Optional. Specifies the type of debugging information generated by the compiler. If you do not specify /debug:pdbonly, the default is full, which enables you to attach a debugger to the running program. The pdbonly argument allows source-code debugging when the program is started in the debugger, but it displays assembly-language code only when the running program is attached to the debugger.

Remarks

Use this option to create debug builds. If you do not specify /debug, /debug+, or /debug:full, you will be unable to debug the output file of your program.

By default, debugging information is not emitted (/debug-). To emit debugging information, specify /debug or /debug+.

For information on how to configure the debug performance of an application, see Making an Image Easier to Debug.
