How do you use verbose?

Her redundant language is making her sound verbose. Being verbose and exaggerating a person's qualities will not help. Don't go off on a tangent or get too verbose.

How do I view the build log in Visual Studio?

On the menu bar, choose Build > Build Solution. In the Output window, click somewhere in the text. Press Ctrl+S. Visual Studio prompts you for a location to save the build output.

Menu Tools → Options → Projects and Solutions → Build and Run → MSBuild project build output verbosity: Diagnostic


  1. Open the project properties dialog, then choose

    Configuration Properties → C/C++ → General

  2. Change the setting for Suppress Startup Banner to No

  3. The cl command line(s) will be shown in the output window.


Visual Studio 2008:

Go to menu Tools → Options then Project and Solutions → Build and Run section. You have a combo box for verbosity.

C++ compiler option (project properties):

  • Preprocessor - Generate Preprocessed File for seeing the translation unit as generated by preprocessor
  • Advanced - Show includes - display included file names at compiler output

If you're running MSBuild, you can set the /v:diag flag.


In Visual Studio go to your project and right click on it and select properties. In Linker there is a command line option. There you have all the options and you can add your custom ones. Add /VERBOSE and when linking Visual Studio will show a lot more information.
