Yeah, sorry for the confusion. CHPL_DEVELOPER is currently treated as
set/unset, primarily because of my personal laziness in not wanting to
distinguish between true/True/yes/Yes/Y/T, their negative correspondants,
and the grey area in-between in the Makefiles. If anyone has a cute/easy
trick for doing this, I'd be happy to hear it.
I'd have responded to this sooner, but am not familiar with the clang
compiler, so wanted to understand how it worked better before putting my
foot in my mouth.
You can also get finer-grained control via, e.g.:
make "OPTIMIZE=1" "DEBUG=0"
IIRC, the default is the above while the default for developers is make
"OPTIMIZE=0" "DEBUG=1". And then of course, CHPL_DEVELOPER adds a bunch
of warning flags to try and keep the code clean as well...
There's a reasonably complete description of CHPL_DEVELOPER's effects in
doc/developer/bestPractices/CHPL_DEVELOPER.txt.
