How to detect compiling for debug or release

[Wim S]

Hello,

is there some way to automatically mark out certain lines in my code when compiling to create a release executable. In my preprocessor file, I have a definition:

 #define DEBUG_NO_RS232.

It is used to simulate RS232 communication when debugging my code. I want to make sure that this definition is disabled when creating a release executable, so I need something like this:

#ifndef CREATING_RELEASE_EXECUTABLE

#define DEBUG_NO_RS232

#endif

Here CREATING_RELEASE_EXECUTABLE should automatically be defined when Build Configuration is set to Release.

All hints are appreciated,

Wim

CVI IDE defines a _CVI_DEBUG_ macro if the Buid configuration is seto to Debug.

Thanks Roberto,

This will save me a lot of complaints (Once I forgot to mark out the #define DEBUG_NO_RS232 line when creating a customer distribution kit )

Not at all! I was formerly using BeingDebuggedByCVI () function but it hasn't the same meaning and usage, next sombody here on the forum spoke about that macro... Your starts should really go to that person but I don't remember who was he.
