/DBGPACK, /NODBGPACK

Use /DBGPACK to eliminate redundant debug type information. The linker takes the debug type information from all object files and needed library components, and reduces the information to one entry per type. This results in a smaller executable output file, and can improve debugger performance.

Performance Consideration:
Generally, linking with /DBGPACK slows the linking process, because it takes time to pack the information. However, if there is enough redundant debug type information, /DBGPACK can actually speed up your linking, because there is less information to write to file.

When you specify /DBGPACK, /DEBUG is turned on by default.

Default: /NODBGPACK

Abbreviations: /DB|/NODB
