This can either be from the command-line or as a task inside Visual Studio Code, then make the final binary: Now call CMake in one of the following three ways from some build folder. Set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES COMPILE_DEFINITIONS "NDEBUG") Set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES COMPILE_DEFINITIONS "_DEBUG") Message(STATUS " Diag: Build type specified as '$ STREQUAL Debug) Message(STATUS " Diag: Build type was unspecified, set to Release") Near the top of CMakeLists.txt, add the following: if (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE STREQUAL "") But it did gives some clues and after digging into the CMake documentation, allows the problem to be resolved with these changes to CMakeLists.txt: Step 1 - If required, set the CMake build type explicitly There is some overlap, but that question refers to the Eclipse IDE and uses obsolete CMake commands. In comments to the question, this question was suggested as a duplicate. However, the problem of the Visual Studio editor not understanding the _DEBUG or NDEBUG symbols for presentation remains an issue. Note: This solution will resolve the issue of symbols not being understood during compilation.
#Cmake debug mode code#
How do you get Visual Studio Code to define and understand the correct symbols based on the selected build task? Or is there some clever way to get Code to "look into" the generated CMake/make files (such as CMakeCache.txt, cmake_install.cmake, Makefile)? Manually defining the symbols with #define DEBUG is an option, but will require manually editing the file every time the build type is changed. Moreover, in the Visual Studio Code editor, the Debug build line is greyed out.
When the application is run, only Release build is printed, never Debug build. The problem is that Visual Studio Code does not understand any Debug or _DEBUG symbols, so code like the following does not work as expected: #ifdef _DEBUG // or #ifdef Debug Thereafter, a make task is run which correctly builds a DEBUG and RELEASE version in. My C++ program has tasks for generating a Makefile with Cmake using the command cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles' -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. Using Visual Studio Code 1.39.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.
