Question

Is there a way to determine the active configuration (that means Debug or Release) in code? Something along the lines of

#ifdef XCodeConfigurationDebug
    ...  
#endif  

#ifdef XCodeConfigurationRelease
    ...  
#endif  

I know that it’s possible to do this by adding custom compiler flags. However, I’m looking for a more global solution.

Answer 1

There is the flag __OPTIMIZE__ that is defined when on RELEASE mode, and so:

#ifndef __OPTIMIZE__
// code for debug mode
#else
// code for release
#endif
