VisualC++: Debug / Release?

[Solar]

I know it's possible to determine whether my source is compiled with VisualC++ using

Code: Select all

#ifdef _MSC_VER

But is it possible to determine whether Visual is set to compile for Debug or Release?

I could use that for some NDEBUG trickery...

try looking in project settings, it should display compiler commandline switches (under "compiler options" or "C++ options" or somesuch)
i'm sure there is some #define, like DEBUG or some variation of underscores.
(IIRC, based on MSVS 6 i used long ago)

Code: Select all

#ifdef _DEBUG

This is for MSVC++6, I haven't bothered to reinstall MSVC++7 since I last reinstalled Windows, but it should work on that to.

Thanks!
