Josh Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 What is the difference between 'debug' and 'release' modes in VS 2008? Is it simply that release mode lacks the macro 'DEBUG' definition? If I remove this macro, am I getting a complete "release" DLL, or is it being slowed down by some other debugging stuff? Quote Let's build cool stuff and have fun.
Furbolg Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Debug mode has no optimizations and some more debugger informations. // Edit: Debug mode has also some slow debugcode e.g. checking array bound or initialise variables with NULL / 0 which release mode dont does. Quote
Roland Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 There are some differences for optimizing in the linker also Quote Roland Strålberg Website: https://rstralberg.com
