| 5 | // This file is used to generate an empty .pdb -- with a 4KB pagesize -- that is |
| 6 | // then used during the final link for modules that have large PDBs. Otherwise, |
| 7 | // the linker will generate a pdb with a page size of 1KB, which imposes a limit |
| 8 | // of 1GB on the .pdb. By generating an initial empty .pdb with the compiler |
| 9 | // (rather than the linker), this limit is avoided. With this in place PDBs may |
| 10 | // grow to 2GB. |
