I don't know exactly what the Debug build does, but AFAIK it incorporates the symbolic debug information inside the compiled object, layouts a different assembly, and links against the debug runtime, but from the point of view of common debugging (breakpoints, inspecting properties, etc.) I don't see differences with a Release + debug informations (which I suppose is made available thorugh the .pdb files).<div>

<p class="MsoNormal">I find very useful, for common debugging of C++ apps, to
build in Release mode (/MD) but with debugging infos (/Zi) and removing
optimization (/Od). With this flags I'm able to debug my app but I don't need
to link against Debug libraries.<u></u><u></u></p>
