+.. note::
+ This property does not apply to STATIC library targets because no linker
+ is invoked to produce them so they have no linker-generated ``.pdb`` file
+ containing debug symbols.
+
+ The linker-generated program database files are specified by the
+ ``/pdb`` linker flag and are not the same as compiler-generated
+ program database files specified by the ``/Fd`` compiler flag.
+ Use the |COMPILE_PDB_XXX| property to specify the latter.
