There isn’t an option to generate an external debug info file (PDB) for Island projects in the settings section in Water. Only Generate Debug Symbols, but not a PDB option.
Generate Debug Symbols is the option you want, it is name that way because it geneates the appropriate debug symbols for the respective platform; for Windows that will generate .PDB.
On .NET it is named explicitly Generate PDB only because .NET also has the option to emit .MDB instead/in addition.
But it doesn’t generate them. Not for Island-Windows at least.
I only get a binary with the dwarf symbols embedded.
Hmm,i dont knkow ebough about how this works on native Windows; i;ll have to check with the team. But can you debug with that option enabled?
yes, it works no problem. But I’d need to deploy without the symbols but still be able to use them when needed.
ok, so GeneratePDB->True in the project file seems to work for Island-Windows too. At least it generates the file. But it’s not visible in settings.
Curious…
Fixed to expose the setting, in vNext
