MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT ----------------------------- .. versionadded:: 3.25 Select debug information format when targeting the MSVC ABI. The allowed values are: .. include:: MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT-VALUES.txt Use :manual:`generator expressions ` 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 "$<$:ProgramDatabase>") selects for the target ``foo`` the program database debug information format for the Debug configuration. 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 ``$<$:ProgramDatabase>``, if supported by the compiler, and otherwise ``$<$: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.
