I am a little confused why Delphi has Debug information in linking and debug information in compiling.
What is the difference between them ?

Debugging option in the Compiler will add the Debug information to the
DCUfiles.Debugging option in the linker will put all debug found in the
DCUfiles into the exe/dll.if you’re using something like FastMM4 or memslueth you will need both options to help you find any faults.
If your releasing code you should disable the linker option to greatly reduce your exe size ( and protect your IPR ).
If you are releasing just the
DCUfiles ( as a 3rd party control/library ) you should turn off the compiler setting before releasing, if you are not supplying source code.
