It is also propagated by calls to the :command:`try_compile` command +into the test project. + +The allowed values are: + +.. include:: ../prop_tgt/MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT-VALUES.txt + +Use :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` to +support per-configuration specification. For example, the code: + +.. code-block:: cmake + + set(CMAKE_MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT "$<$<CONFIG:Debug,RelWithDebInfo>:ProgramDatabase>") + +selects for all following targets the program database debug information format +for the Debug configuration. + +If this variable is not set, the :prop_tgt:`MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT` +target property will not be set automatically. If that 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 variable 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. |
