title: How to disable PDB file creation for C/C++ in Visual Studio 2015?
body: <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46784553/how-to-disable-pdb-file-creation-in-visual-studio-2015">This</a> SO question / answer is just for C#.</p>
  
  <p>I tried several options, but none of them worked. Among others, I tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Project -> Properties -> Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Debug Info -> No</li>
  <li><p>Project -> Properties -> Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Program Database File -> No</p></li>
  <li><p>Project -> Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Debug Information Format -> None</p></li>
  <li><p>Project -> Properties -> C/C++ -> Output Files -> Program Database File Name -> </p></li>
  <li><p>Project -> Properties -> C/C++ -> Command Line -> Additional Options -> /DEBUG:NONE</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>How can I stop Visual Studio creating a PDB file (and thus adding a link to it in the executable) for my C/C++ projects?</p>
