When building Scintilla on Windows using cd win32 & nmake -f scintilla.mak the vc140.pdb gets created in win32 rather then win32\obj alongside all the other *.obj files. This means that nmake -f scintilla.mak clean does not remove it. I propose to create the vc140.pdb in win32\obj instead.
The reason is that the -Zi flag ("The /Zi option produces a separate PDB file that contains all the symbolic debugging information for use with the debugger.") is missing an accompanying -Fd (/Fd gives the program database file name) to set its output path.
Fix:
C:\opt\scintilla-code\win32>hg diff
diff -r 5c6325ac2b68 win32/scintilla.mak
