Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #7491: PDB placement regression https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7491 <p> Attempting to build boost with <em>debug-store=database</em> (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. </p> <p> Reproduction steps: </p> <ol><li>In a clean Boost directory, run <pre class="wiki">bootstrap b2 debug-symbols=on debug-store=database </pre></li><li>Watch as the directory fills up with PDBs. </li></ol> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7491 Trac 1.4.3 danielg@… Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:08:05 GMT version changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7491#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7491#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>version</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Boost Development Trunk</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boost 1.50.0</span> </li> </ul> Ticket kawachi Sun, 11 Nov 2012 10:35:43 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7491#comment:2 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7491#comment:2</guid> <description> <p> The same problem occurred to me with MSVC2010 express compiler, and I found it is introduced by the changeset <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/75912" title="Clean up the evil 'variables of the running module are swapped with ...">[75912]</a> . </p> <p> It works well if the revision of b2 is older than <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/75912" title="Clean up the evil 'variables of the running module are swapped with ...">[75912]</a> . </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>Steven Watanabe</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Nov 2012 18:56:49 GMT</pubDate> <title>status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7491#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7491#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/81498" title="Fix PDB location.
