<p>Output directory for the MS debug symbols <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.pdb</span></code> file
generated by the linker for an executable or shared library target.</p>
<p>This property specifies the directory into which the MS debug symbols
will be placed by the linker. The property value may use
<span class="target" id="index-0-manual:cmake-generator-expressions(7)"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake-generator-expressions.7.html#manual:cmake-generator-expressions(7)" title="cmake-generator-expressions(7)"><code class="xref cmake cmake-manual docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">generator</span> <span class="pre">expressions</span></code></a>.
Multi-configuration generators append a per-configuration
subdirectory to the specified directory unless a generator expression
is used.</p>
<p>This property is initialized by the value of the

set when a target is created.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>This property does not apply to STATIC library targets because no linker
is invoked to produce them so they have no linker-generated <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.pdb</span></code> file
containing debug symbols.</p>
<p>The linker-generated program database files are specified by the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/pdb</span></code> linker flag and are not the same as compiler-generated
program database files specified by the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/Fd</span></code> compiler flag.
Use the <span class="target" id="index-1-prop_tgt:COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY"></span><a class="reference internal" href="COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY.html#prop_tgt:COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY" title="COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY</span></code></a> property to specify the latter.</p>
