Hi, Is there any reason not to support it for release binaries? This eefectively stops any possibility to step into any NHibernate source code when running with release binaries. Note that there is no performance degradation when using /debug:pdbonly, only slight compilation time increase. Please consider this article: http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2009/06/19/do-pdb-files-affect-performance.aspx
I am also not necesarily talking about distributing PDB files with the release package, if you do not like this idea. If the binaries are at least compiled with PDB then we can work around this issue by providing PDBs from our own compilation through the SymbolSource symbol server.
