Release mode debug configuration

1. Open the Property Pages dialog box for the project. For details, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.
2. Click the C/C++ node. Set Debug Information Format to C7 compatible (/Z7) or Program Database (/Zi).
3. Expand Linker and click the General node. Set Enable Incremental Linking to No (/INCREMENTAL:NO).
4. Select the Debugging node. Set Generate Debug Info to Yes (/DEBUG).
5. Select the Optimization node. Set References to /OPT:REF and Enable COMDAT Folding to /OPT:ICF.
6. You can now debug your release build application. To find a problem, step through the code (or use Just-In-Time debugging) until you find where the failure occurs, and then determine the incorrect parameters or code.
