<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> I believe the current mode of operation is to copy-rename-replace the free version of the file with debug version of the file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Removing the ‘d’ for debug filename convention will be a fair amount of work impacting ‘many’ build and release files.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">That said, I personally have no problems with dropping the special debug name of the file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would request that all .rc files have the correctly working ‘#if DBG’ with ‘#define VER_FILEDESCRIPTION_STR’ containing some indication the version is Debug/Checked.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The absence of Debug/Checked would imply a free/released version of the module.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">With the correct #define VER_FILEDESCRIPTION_STR definition, one can hold the mouse-point over the explorer filename and determine if the module is Debug or Free.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Fortunately many modules already support this functionality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently the OFA build creates different files for debug and release version (i.e complib.dll for release and complibd.dll for debug).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know what was the reason to do it in this way, but I know that there is no other product that do it. If you wants to debug an issue you can install the debug version that contains the debug dll.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Using different names complicates our installation package and testing. I want to change the code to use same file name for debug and release.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if there is any reason not doing it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Uri<o:p></o:p></p>
