COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

.. versionadded:: 3.1

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

This property specifies the directory into which the MS debug symbols will be placed by the compiler.

.. versionadded:: 3.12

The property value may use :manual:generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>. Multi-configuration generators append a per-configuration subdirectory to the specified directory unless a generator expression is used.

This property is initialized by the value of the :variable:CMAKE_COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY variable if it is set when a target is created.

If the :prop_tgt:PRECOMPILE_HEADERS_REUSE_FROM target is set, this property is ignored and the reusage target's value of this property is used instead.
