...I include my default testing project.

A couple of things to note about it :

* The SSE instruction set isn't activated. This is if you need to ship your program to an old machine. If this option is set, and the machine doesn't have SSE 1 or 2, it will crash.
* All optimisation is on, and its for Release mode. It seems to be the only mode that works (not that Debug mode is useful anyway).
* Its a 32-bit project. You cant use a 64-bit project unfortunately - GSDK is compiled to 32-bit libraries.
* Unicode is active. Whils GSDK is not unicode compatiable, it maybe useful for your own messages... or something... Its actually left over from when I was doing stuff on PDA's - unicode is the only option...

Boost array only does bounds checking in debug mode. Thats saved my ass more than once.

Nick, you keep saying this... I really cannot see how anyone can debug in release mode with any amount of effectiveness. Do you rely solely on printf() debugging???

Mate, that's dark ages stuff. How can anyone do without breakpoints with source debugging and variable watches in this day and age is beyond me.

I understand that a debug binary is different to the release and you can't always assume that something that works on debug will work on release. But for that I do occasional release builds to play around with an do sanity checks: I'd never use release mode while devaloping on a day in day out basis...

Quite easy really - had no need for variable watches or anything like that.

I take it then you've never worked on a project with 100+ files.

And what do you think I do at work ? Currently 80 DLL workspaces, 30_+ executables and probably nearing at least half a million lines.

Well, you must have a brain the size of Kent then.

I would die if I only debugged via printf(). I only use that approach when having the debugger latched would interefere with results (threads, events etc).

For synchronous stuff I must admit my personal weakness of using all the wimpy facilities IDE's have provided since the early nineties.
