Hi,

In BCB6 you could specifiy if you wanted to have bug information for the VCL
libraries. In BCB2006 I can't find the option. If you include debug
information the debugger always tries to step into the memory allocation
routines which is a pain as it constantly steps into system.pas or the cpu
window. :<

Is there away to specify debugging just for your own files in BCB2006?

Thanks

Simon

No but there is an option to automatically close files implicitly
opened by the debugger when debugging ends.

What a pain in the arse, any ideas why Borland have removed another useful
piece of code?

Try changing your linker paths from $(BDS)\lib\debug to $(BDS)\lib\release

Nope.

Have they even tried debugging something themselves before they released
BDS2006? This is a real step backwards, IMO.

Good idea, but it was a simple switch in BCB6.

If you set your debug configuration to use $(BDS)\lib\debug and your release
configuration to $(BDS)\lib\release then it is still a simple switch in
BDS2006 :)

Simon,

Just don't link with the debug versions of VCL libs -

Project | Options
Select debug build configuration (if it isn't already)
Linker | Paths and Directories
Change $(BDS)\lib\debug to $(BDS)\lib\release.

HTH,

Ok thanks but it used to be a simple check box in previous versions. :(

Ok thanks but it used to be a simple check box in previous versions. Sad

It is almost a simple now. Make that change once and save that as a new
configuration and you can quickly switch to your Debug without Debug versions of
VCL. I agree that it would be nice to have a check box, but if you have to do
that every time it would be more tedious. With the new custom configuration
stuff you make the change once and then can select that configuration easily in
the future.
