PDB_NAME
--------
Output name for MS debug symbols .pdb file from linker.
Output name for the MS debug symbol ``.pdb`` file generated by the
linker for an executable or shared library target.
Set the base name for debug symbols file created for an executable or

This property specifies the base name for the debug symbols file.

.. 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.
