Specify whether to emit the DebuggableAttribute attribute with debug information tracking and to disable JIT optimizations.
Syntax
/ASSEMBLYDEBUG[:DISABLE]
Remarks
The /ASSEMBLYDEBUG linker option emits the DebuggableAttribute attribute with debug information tracking and disables JIT optimizations. This option is the same as specifying the following attribute in source:
[assembly:Debuggable(true, true)]; // same as /ASSEMBLYDEBUG
/ASSEMBLYDEBUG:DISABLE emits the DebuggableAttribute attribute but disables the tracking of debug information and enables JIT optimizations. This option is the same as specifying the following attribute in source:
[assembly:Debuggable(false, false)]; // same as /ASSEMBLYDEBUG:DISABLE
By default, the linker doesn't emit the DebuggableAttribute attribute.
DebuggableAttribute can also be added to an assembly directly in source code. For example:
[assembly:Debuggable(true, true)]; // same as /ASSEMBLYDEBUG
You must explicitly specify that a managed image is debuggable. The /Zi option alone is insufficient.
Other linker options that affect assembly generation are:

Select the Configuration Properties > Linker > Debug property page.
Modify the Debuggable Assembly property.
To set this linker option programmatically
