You're looking for one of the debug information generation options (/Z7, /Zi or /ZI).

If you use one of those, you should also pass the /DEBUG option to the linker.

You will also need to link against the debug version of the runtime libraries (/MDd or /MTd). This is important because these versions are different from their release counterparts (e.g. their memory allocations routines are not compatible).
