keyword |
Is the type of debugging information to be generated. Possible values are:
|
For information on the non-default settings for these keywords, see the Description section.
/debug:none |
This is the default on the command line and for a release configuration in the IDE. |
/debug:all |
This is the default for a debug configuration in the IDE. |
This option enables or disables generation of debugging information. It is passed to the linker.
By default, enabling debugging, will disable optimization. To enable both debugging and optimization use the /debug option together with one of the optimization level options (/O3, /O2 or /O3).
If conflicting keywords are used in combination, the last one specified on the command line has precedence.
Option |
Description |
---|---|
/debug:none |
Disables generation of debugging information. It is the same as specifying /nodebug. |
/debug:full or /debug:all |
Generates complete debugging information. It produces symbol table information needed for full symbolic debugging of unoptimized code and global symbol information needed for linking. It is the same as specifying /debug with no keyword. If you specify /debug:full for an application that makes calls to C library routines and you need to debug calls into the C library, you should also specify /dbglibs to request that the appropriate C debug library be linked against. |
/debug:minimal |
Generates line number information for debugging. |
