+// This file is used to generate an empty .pdb -- with a 4KB pagesize -- that is |
+// then used during the final link for modules that have large PDBs. Otherwise, |
+// the linker will generate a pdb with a page size of 1KB, which imposes a limit |
+// of 1GB on the .pdb. By generating an initial empty .pdb with the compiler |
+// (rather than the linker), this limit is avoided. With this in place PDBs may |
+// grow to 2GB. |
