# PDB_NAME

Output name for the MS debug symbol `.pdb` file generated by the linker for an executable or shared library target.

This property specifies the base name for the debug symbols file. If not set, the logical target name is used by default.

Note

This property does not apply to STATIC library targets because no linker is invoked to produce them so they have no linker-generated `.pdb` file containing debug symbols.

The compiler-generated program database files specified by the MSVC `/Fd` flag are not the same as linker-generated program database files and so are not influenced by this property.

This property is not implemented by the `Visual Studio 6` generator.
