How do you detect whether release or debug build using compiler preprocessor directives?

Hi - I want to detect during compilation whether the user has set CVI to compile the code as a release build or as a standard debug build.  Are there simple preprocessor conditionals to test for this?

Thanks

Hey Gareth -

The _CVI_DEBUG_ predefined macro will be set for debug builds.  You can see the list of all predefined macros by going to Options»Build Options»Predefined Macros.

Perfect!  Thanks a lot for your quick response!

You can see a little more info on the predefined macros through the CVI Help.  From CVI, go to Help >> Contents  >> Index, then enter Predefined macros.
