PDBs are always lowercase

[ARPP3]

Hi! I am setting up some DLLs in C++ and, I noticed that when setting the following:

IsFileNameToLower = false;
IsTargetFileNameToLower = false;

PDBs are entirely lowercase. This is not a huge issue but an odd deviation from what I expected,

Hi,
it is possible and there is many similar cases in the code base. Fixing everything is a very low priority for us as this would be a big risky refactoring without any benefit in our case as we name everything lowercase by defaut in our sharpmake scripts. Places were case really matter such as source file paths are normally keeping the physical file paths.

Are you naming explicitely paths in upper case ? What is the use case ? pdb are for use on windows and the file system is not case sensitive so I don't really understand what problem this causes you.

Hey, so as I mentioned this is not at all a huge issue for me. I just found it odd that with everything set to false it was still outputting a pdb entirely lowercase, and so I chose to report it incase it was not known.

If the goal of those options are to assert that the filenames will not be forced lowercase, then I thought I should help make it known that an output file from the build doesn't follow that :) but yeah as you mentioned if you're doing your testing and everything by default just in lowercase, and if this is a risky change then it's probably fine to leave it as is. I just found it by chance since I am using PascalCase for all of the DLLs in our project and tried to configure this the same.
