Tells DUMPBIN not to load and search program database (PDB) files for symbol information.
/NOPDB
By default, DUMPBIN attempts to load PDB files for its target executables. DUMPBIN uses this information to match addresses to symbol names. The process can be time-consuming if the PDB files are large, or must be loaded from a remote server. The /NOPDB option tells DUMPBIN to skip this step. It only prints the addresses and symbol information available in the executable.
