/debug[:keyword] |
Arguments
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.
Default
/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. |
Description
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.

Description |
---|---|
/debug:none |
Disables generation of debugging information. |
/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. |
/debug:minimal |
Generates line number information for debugging. |
/debug:partial |
Generates global symbol table information needed for linking, but not local symbol table information needed for debugging. This option is deprecated and is not available in the IDE. |
/debug:expr-source-pos |
Generates source position information at the statement level of granularity. |
/debug:inline-debug-info |
Generates enhanced debug information for inlined code. On inlined functions, symbols are (by default) associated with the caller. This option causes symbols for inlined functions to be associated with the source of the called function. |
