Help/prop_tgt/MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT.rst
.. versionadded:: 3.25
Select debug information format when targeting the MSVC ABI.
The allowed values are:
.. include:: include/MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT-VALUES.rst
Use :manual:generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)> to
support per-configuration specification. For example, the code:
.. code-block:: cmake
add_executable(foo foo.c) set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT "$<$CONFIG:Debug,RelWithDebInfo:ProgramDatabase>")
selects for the target foo the program database debug information format
for the Debug and RelWithDebInfo configurations.
This property is initialized from the value of the
:variable:CMAKE_MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT variable, if it is set.
If this property is not set, CMake selects a debug information format using
the default value $<$<CONFIG:Debug,RelWithDebInfo>:ProgramDatabase>, if
supported by the compiler, and otherwise
$<$<CONFIG:Debug,RelWithDebInfo>:Embedded>.
.. note::
This property has effect only when policy :policy:CMP0141 is set to NEW
prior to the first :command:project or :command:enable_language command
that enables a language using a compiler targeting the MSVC ABI.
