Robin Dunn <ro...@alldunn.com> added the comment:
No, MSVC does not behave that way any longer. Now it simply creates a file
named "None", so I expect that the newer versions simply do not support writing
the "old-style" debug info written to the DLL or EXE. If a setup script creates
more than one extension module then they all overwrite that None file.
In order to get debug info in a useable form, distutils simply can not use
/pdb:None. By removing that option entirely then debug info is generated like
normal into a *.pdb file and using the debugger to trace through the extension
module's code will happily work correctly.
I've had to have this hack in wxPython's setup.py since Python 2.6 to work
around this problem:
# Yet another distutils hack, this time for the msvc9compiler. There
# is a bug in at least version distributed with Python 2.6 where it
# adds '/pdb:None' to the linker command-line, but that just results
# in a 'None' file being created instead of putting the debug info
# into the .pyd files as expected. So we'll strip out that option via
# a monkey-patch of the msvc9compiler.MSVCCompiler.initialize method.
if os.name == 'nt' and sys.version_info >= (2,6):
import distutils.msvc9compiler
_orig_initialize = distutils.msvc9compiler.MSVCCompiler.initialize
def _initialize(self, *args, **kw):
rv = _orig_initialize(self, *args, **kw)
try:
self.ldflags_shared_debug.remove('/pdb:None')
except ValueError:
pass
return rv
distutils.msvc9compiler.MSVCCompiler.initialize = _initialize
