[Brian Braatz Writes:] thanks John- that is a good point
I recall you CAN also accomplish rolling in a "release" version of the std runtime with debug build of an exe, but it is brittle and does not work in all cases for all types of projects- this solution requires you to very carefully tweak all the right compiler settings across all the libraries.
In other words, just because you can doesn't mean you should :)
Borland always uses a release version of the STL and run-time libs. If you want debug versions, you have to build them yourself. Running on windows, we get auto-linked by default which gives us the debug boost libs for our debug builds, but I'd be quite happy with release builds, providing there weren't any #ifdef _DEBUG in header files going to screw up structure alignment and such (as can happen if you don't use the multi-threaded version of some libs etc) Russell
