MantisBT - CMake
In our project (DynamoRIO) we have a bunch of targets where we set RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, etc. The .pdb file would get created in ${RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY} next to the .dll, which is what we want. After this change, it would get created in the default output directory, which is different. Furthermore, this would mean the pdbs never got installed.
Our CMake code:
set_target_properties(dynamorio PROPERTIES
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY${location_suffix} "${DR_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}"
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY${location_suffix} "${DR_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}"
ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY${location_suffix} "${DR_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}"
# The next line is the one I added to work around the problem.
#PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY${location_suffix} "${DR_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}"
)
From the linker command line:
/out:lib32\debug\dynamorio.dll
/implib:lib32\debug\dynamorio.lib
/pdb:core\dynamorio.pdb
We can easily work around the problem by setting PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY as well as RUNTIME, ARCHIVE, and LIBRARY, but it'd be nice for other users that aren't using cmake from version control if the default didn't change.

2. Set the runtime and archive output directory to somewhere non-default
3. Build it
4. Observe that the pdb does not reside next to the dll
