In cooperation with Mark, we've implemented debug/release build switch
for class library natives on Windows.
This is great IMHO. I was always interested in pure debug version of
classlib to fix the bugs. Previously we had a half debug/half release
mix which wasn't very convenient for debugging.
Is it integrated already? I think on windows in debug move the pdb files
for classlib libraries should be copied to deploy directory. This is not
done so far.
To build release version of class lib please use the following command:
ant -Dhy.cfg=release
Release natives gives us significant boost on some benchmarks. For
example 15,68% on Dacapo.chart!
So please use release builds for any performance measurements.
SY, Alexey
P.S. Mark, have you finished everything for Linux?
Hopefully it is possible to make deploy and temporary (for object files)
directories different for debug/release and different platforms too.
This will allow to have only one source copy on Linux when using the
same home directory from different servers.
