PDB placement regression

Reported by: danielg@… Owned by:
Milestone: To Be Determined Component: Building Boost
Version: Boost 1.50.0 Severity: Regression
Keywords: pdb Cc:

Description

Attempting to build boost with debug-store=database (which is necessary to get PDBs for static libraries and not just DLLs) causes all the PDB files to be created flatly in the Boost root directory instead of in the appropriate folders. The problem started with Boost 1.50 and it is still broken on trunk.

Reproduction steps:

  1. In a clean Boost directory, run 
    bootstrap
b2 debug-symbols=on debug-store=database
  2. Watch as the directory fills up with PDBs.

The same problem occurred to me with MSVC2010 express compiler, and I found it is introduced by the changeset [75912] .

It works well if the revision of b2 is older than [75912] .
