Re: debug vs. release

Hi Daniel,

Does the Genode build system have support for debug vs. release build differentiation? Are there conventions for code-level conditionals? If not, I suggest you the Genode folks might consider adding to the road map.

there is already a "release" mode. You can activate it by specifying the following line in your '<build-dir>/etc/specs.conf' file:

SPECS += release

By setting this spec value, the 'base/mk/spec-release.mk' file will be incorporated into the build process, which sets a define called 'GENODE_RELEASE'. We use this as a condition for dimming the noise of debugging messages (see 'base/include/base/printf.h') in release mode.
