        # The way MSVC uses PDB files is documented exactly nowhere so
        # the following is what we have been able to decipher via
        # reverse engineering.
        #
        # Each object file gets the path of its PDB file written
        # inside it.  This can be either the final PDB (for, say,
        # foo.exe) or an object pdb (for foo.obj). If the former, then
        # each compilation step locks the pdb file for writing, which
        # is a bottleneck and object files from one target cannot be
        # used in a different target. The latter seems to be the
        # sensible one (and what Unix does) but there is a catch.  If
        # you try to use precompiled headers MSVC will error out
        # because both source and pch pdbs go in the same file and
        # they must be the same.
        #
        # This means:
        #
        # - pch files must be compiled anew for every object file (negating
        #   the entire point of having them in the first place)
        # - when using pch, output must go to the target pdb
        #
        # Since both of these are broken in some way, use the one that
        # works for each target. This unfortunately means that you
        # can't combine pch and object extraction in a single target.
        #
        # PDB files also lead to filename collisions. A target foo.exe
        # has a corresponding foo.pdb. A shared library foo.dll _also_
        # has pdb file called foo.pdb. So will a static library
        # foo.lib, which clobbers both foo.pdb _and_ the dll file's
        # export library called foo.lib (by default, currently we name
        # them libfoo.a to avoid this issue). You can give the files
        # unique names such as foo_exe.pdb but VC also generates a
        # bunch of other files which take their names from the target
        # basename (i.e. "foo") and stomp on each other.
        #
        # CMake solves this problem by doing two things. First of all
        # static libraries do not generate pdb files at
        # all. Presumably you don't need them and VC is smart enough
        # to look up the original data when linking (speculation, not
        # tested). The second solution is that you can only have
        # target named "foo" as an exe, shared lib _or_ static
        # lib. This makes filename collisions not happen. The downside
        # is that you can't have an executable foo that uses a shared
        # library libfoo.so, which is a common idiom on Unix.
        #
        # If you feel that the above is completely wrong and all of
        # this is actually doable, please send patches.
