I've created empty c/c++ project in VS2017 with options:
unchecked create directory for solution
added libcmt.lib as additional option in command line (Properties -> Linker -> Command Line)
Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) in SubSystem (Properties -> Linker -> System)
Generate Debug Information (/DEBUG) in Generate Debug Info (Properties -> Linker -> Debugging)
Debugger type: Mixed
masm in Build Customization files
The rest are default. Although those options debugger dosn't hit breakpoints in asm file. What could be the issue?

Is there a way to cancel the /DEBUG command line argument on Visual Studio's (2015+) link command?
I've tried /DEBUG:NO and /DEBUG- but neither is recognized.
In the project's properties, select the Linker -> Debugging options page and turn off "Generate Debug Info," as shown below:
(If this option is not shown, be sure that all other 'debug' options are disabled, such as "Use Debug Libraries" on the Configuration Properties -> Advanced page.)
Alternatively, to explicitly turn off the /DEBUG option in command-line builds, you can use the /DEBUG:NONE switch.
Right-click on the solution title in the Solution Explorer window, then go to Configuration Properties -> Configuration. The table appears, showing check-boxes, allowing to turn off/on a build of particular projects for certain configurations.
My solution and projects are generated with CMake.
Is it possible to turn off a particular project for Debug build configuration from CMakeLists.txt?

Background of a problem is failing build of Cython project for Debug config.
Release builds fine. CMake module was taken from this example on Github.
Debug config wants debug Python library python27_d.lib, that is forced by pyconfig.h. I use Anaconda python, which is missing this library.
Moreover, I don't need debug build of that project. I've unsuccessfully spent several hours, modifying CMakeLists.txt in various ways, trying to remove definition of _DEBUG macro from compiler command line. CLI parameter /D_DEBUG was absent in all dialogs with properties and "complete command line" listings, that Visual Studio has shown me. Nevertheless, something has always appended it.
So, I'd like to simply disable this project in Debug build for now.
This sets that check-box from the first part of the question to unchecked state:
set_property(TARGET <my Cython module>
PROPERTY EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD_DEBUG TRUE)
Now I wonder, where did compiler command line come from, because /D_DEBUG was absent in all dialogs with properties, that Visual Studio has shown me (second part of the question).
I am building this project in VS2013. Initially, that string /D_DEBUG was present in Project properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor definitions for the Debug configuration. Then I've added
string(REPLACE "/D_DEBUG" "" CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG}")
to my CMakeLists.txt file, building the Cython code, and that macro has disappeared from the Project properties.
Nevertheless, the project was still requiring python27_d.dll.
I've also added
#define _DEBUG
in one of files, and have got the following compiler warning
C:\projects\project\file.cpp(9): warning C4005: '_DEBUG' : macro redefinition
command-line arguments : see previous definition of '_DEBUG'
I have a problem when trying to debug a simple PCL (Point-Cloud-Library Application) application in MS Visual C++ 2010 that has to visualize a point cloud. (This example: http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/pcl_visualizer.php)
I setup the C++ project with all the include and library folders needed for PCL.
I add to the linker input the following dependencies:

When i start debugging the IDE ends up with the following link error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc100-mt-sgd-1_49.lib'
The library "libboost_thread-vc100-mt-sgd-1_49.lib" is not contained in the set of boost library of the 3party folder of PCL. What am I doing wrong? Is there another path for VS2010 configuration for PCL programs?
Additional information:
I downloaded last version 1.6 of PCL, choosing the MSVC2010 version all-in-one.
I set up the code generation with /MTd (Multi-threaded debug)
I'm running the project with debug mode.
You already got libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_49.lib so enable your project to use dynamic linking in "configuration properties".
Another option is to download Boost and build it using static linking to generate the libboost_thread-vc100-mt-sgd-1_49.lib file. Don't forget to set the folder of "Linker" -> "Additional Library directories" to the location of the file.
I'm linking an executable file with several static libraries (projects in my solution), and want to remove all internal function names from the final .exe file.
Which settings do I have to use for that, and do I have to do that in the library or executable project settings?
Simply building in Release mode doesn't strip the names out of the binary.
Go to Project -> Properties -> Configuration properties -> Linker and in the Debugging section set Generate Debug Info to "No".
Remove them using hex editor, they aren't used inside a code
We need to surpress generation of debug symbols. The options availble under project properties/ configuration properties / c/c++ / general / debug information format, are equivalent to /Z7, /Zi and /ZI - I can't find a way to omit the /Zx flag entirely.
Unlike the situation here - we're building from the IDE.
I'm using visual studio 2010, and the project at hand is a static library.
EDIT:
Here's the view from my installation of VS2012. Is this some installation issue?? Are your Debug-Information-Format options different?
You can remove it manually:
Step 1. Compiler.
Selected "Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Debug Information Format"
Hit DEL
Step 2. Linker.
Also you need to disable generating Debug info for Linker
Selected "Configuration Properties > Linker > Debugging> Generate Debug Info" set to No
Step 3. Profiler.
Also set "Profile" to "No" in Linker > Advanced or you may still see PDB files generated!
First thing first - this is not recommended to disable .PDB generation, even for a Release Build!
Anyway, you just need to go:
Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Debug Info, and set it to No
