Important
BscMake is no longer used by the Visual Studio IDE. Since Visual Studio 2008, browse information is stored automatically in an .sdf file in the Solution folder.
[!INCLUDE C++-specific task]
Wraps the Microsoft Browse Information Maintenance Utility tool (bscmake.exe). The bscmake.exe tool builds a browse information file (.bsc) from source browser files (.sbr) that are created during compilation. Use the Object Browser to view a .bsc file. For more information, see BSCMAKE reference.
The following table describes the parameters of the BscMake task. Most task parameters correspond to a command-line option.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
AdditionalOptions | Optional String parameter. A list of options as specified on the command line. For example, /<option1> /<option2> /<option#>. Use this parameter to specify options that are not represented by any other BscMake task parameter. For more information, see the options in BSCMAKE options. |
OutputFile | Optional String parameter. Specifies a file name that overrides the default output file name. For more information, see the /o option in BSCMAKE options. |
PreserveSBR | Optional Boolean parameter. If true , forces a nonincremental build. A full, nonincremental build occurs regardless of whether a .bsc file exists, and prevents .sbr files from being truncated.For more information, see the /n option in BSCMAKE options. |
Sources | Optional ITaskItem[] parameter. Defines an array of MSBuild source file items that can be consumed and emitted by tasks. |
SuppressStartupBanner | Optional Boolean parameter. If true , prevents the display of the copyright and version number message when the task starts.For more information, see the /NOLOGO option in BSCMAKE options. |
