/NOPDB

Tells DUMPBIN not to load and search program database (PDB) files for symbol information.

Syntax

/NOPDB

Remarks

By default, DUMPBIN attempts to load PDB files for its target executables. DUMPBIN uses this information to match addresses to symbol names. The process can be time-consuming if the PDB files are large, or must be loaded from a remote server. The /NOPDB option tells DUMPBIN to skip this step. It only prints the addresses and symbol information available in the executable.

To set the /NOPDB linker option in Visual Studio

  1. Open the Property Pages dialog box for the project. For more information, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.

  2. Select the Configuration Properties > Linker > Command Line property page.

  3. In the Additional options box, add the /NOPDB option. Choose OK or Apply to save your changes.

To set this linker option programmatically

  • This option doesn't have a programmatic equivalent.
