Hi,

I have a Release and a Debug configuration in my project. When I run my application, I want to start the Release build. For debug I want to start the Debug build.

I set the configuration to Release and the Release was build. Then I set the configuration to Debug and the Debug was build. But when I try to debug my application, the Release is started. So I changed the debug configuration to Debug. Next I tried to run the Release, but the Debug was started. So I changed the run configuration to Release. I saw, that I can only change both configurations concurrently. Is there a way to change the path of the application by only change the active configuration?

Regards

I'm looking for an answer to this exactly...

There has to be an easier way than having to select the debug configuration to debug and the run configuration to run, every time.

To put it another way, the run history is the same history as the debug history, rather than separate...

Can anyone help?

There is only one launch configuration which is used for both debugging and running. So, whatever the last program configuration chosen will be the one used. If you want something different, you should submit a change request.

FWIW: I've never seen much advantage to running a program from within an IDE anyway except to see that it actually runs. The debug information inserted by the GNU tool chain is non-intrusive so I usually leave it in even for production code.. If you have a real difference between Debug and Release then they are different programs. What's the point of debugging program A then guessing how it applies to B?

Well, I do have one project where the debug/profiling code overhead is significant enough that I don't want it running unless I'm debugging. I suppose I could make a debug-light build though, for general testing.
