My application pops a form as a child of the main form. On the form is User Control with a Panel where Graphics are rendered. When executed from Visual Studio in debug mode the drawing is often rendered as expected, imagine a simply XY graph. If the panel's graphic aren't drawn then adding two or three break points to the drawing routine...
I have a dotnet windows service that's currently hung, but running. Is there anyway to attach a debugger to it, despite the lack of symbols; and that it's already running? ...
Recently I have discovered that my release executable (made with msvc++ express 2008) becomes very large. As I examine the executable with a hex viewer I saw that only the first 300k bytes contains useful data the remaining bytes are only zeros - 6 megs of zero bytes. The debug built exe has 1MB size, but the release is 6.5MB. Why doe...
I know PDBs are generated for managed projects in .NET by giving the compiler the /debug argument. Is there a way to specify this in the VS (2005) GUI? The only way I could get it to generate PDBs in release mode so far is to manually modify the .csproj file and to add : <DebugSymbols>true</DebugSymbols> <DebugType>full</DebugType> ...
Is there any way to find out if an Assembly has been compiled with the TRACE or DEBUG flag set without modifying the assembly. ...
Hi All, I am compiling my project in the release mode in VC++. I have a .def file where i have declared the setLog and now i am getting following error Linking...

So I have just followed the advice in enabling debug symbols for Release mode and after enabling debug symbols, disabling optimization and finding that break-points do work if symbols are complied with a release mode, I find myself wondering... Isn't the purpose of Debug mode to help you to find bugs? Why bother with Debug mode if it l...
When I change my project to Release mode, a reference to a ClassLibrary is not recognized. Anyone know why the reference is no good when I change to Release instead of Debug? ...
I need to have some lines of code "active" in debug mode only, and ignored in release mode. Is there a way to do something like this: #include <iostream> using namespace std; #ifdef _TEST_ #define _cerr cerr #else #define _cerr // cerr #endif int main() { _cerr << "TEST message" << endl; } So that when _TEST_ is not defined, some...
I know there are several questions asking the same question "Why should I use release mode". The problem I have with the answers is that they simply state, quite strongly, that you should always use release mode when a website is in production. Why? I understand that the code is optimised in the assemblies, but to what level? Is it go...
What are the typical reasons for bugs and abnormal program behavior that manifest themselves only in release compilation mode but which do not occur when in debug mode? ...
I was given this WPF application, when I tried to run the program in Debug mode it would crash before getting to Windows1.xml. I later tried running in Release Mode and it would run successfully. I narrowed it down to that, I needed to turn on "Optimize Code" for it to work. Note: Breakpoints, stepping into from debug, and stopping on t...
I'm working on a relatively simple iPhone app which retrieves external data and subscribes to push notifications. Both of these features work flawlessly on all OS versions in debug and ad hoc distribution mode -- which is likely why the application was admitted to the app store -- but both of these features work unpredictably and often f...
I currently use the following preprocessor defines, and various optimization settings: WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN VC_EXTRALEAN NOMINMAX _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS _SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS _SECURE_SCL=0 _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING=0 My question is what other things do fellow SOers use, add, define, in order to get a Release Mode build from VS C++ ...
Hi there. A project i'm working on is crashing when built with release configuration. We need to send the application to apple for review and it is crashing before even entering the app. Any idea how that could happen? In last ressort, is it possible to send to apple a debug version of the app with some optimizations? thanks. ...
Hi, I used the following overloaded method to change the text color to red in a listbox, in a Visual C++ MFC dialog based application. When I build the program in DEBUG mode, it works perfectly. But when I use the RELEASE mode the text color doesn't change. Why is this and how can I overcome this problem?? Thanks!! HBRUSH MyDlg::OnCtl...
Hi! I have a problem about release build I'm using Visual Studio 2005. The project is worked on MFC When I build the project what I working in debug mode, It builds done successfully. but in release mode, Output window shows next 1>Compiling resources... 1>Linking... 1>Generating code and then.. it doesn't pass.

Hi i have strange problem , my application (exe) is working fine in debug mode in windows 7 but stop to work with exception when compiling in release mode . how can i debug the program to find what is causing the exception this is application with more then 300,000 lines of code .. ...
Hi, I have a code in Visual Studio 2008 in C++ that works with files just by fopen and fclose. Everything works perfect in Debug mode. and I have tested with several datasets. But it doesn't work in release mode. It crashes all the time. I have turned off all the optimizations, also there is no dependency to anything(in the linker), and...
I have a class like this: class OBJ{...}; class A { public: vector<OBJ> v; A(int SZ){v.clear(); v.reserve(SZ);} }; A *a = new A(123); OBJ something; a->v.push_back(something); This is a simplified version of my code. The problem is in debug mode it works perfect. But in release mode it crashes at "push_back" line. (with all...
