Debug vs release build

Hi

Using .NET reflector I have noticed that all actipro assemblies are build with the '[assembly: Debuggable(DebuggableAttribute.DebuggingModes.DisableOptimizations | DebuggableAttribute.DebuggingModes.Default)] ' attribute.

Why no release build with optimizations ?

Hi Krijn,

Actually our Release projects do have "Optimize code" checked.  But regardless, the setting you mentioned only affects debugging performance, not execution performance. You can read more here.

I still have .NET 3.5 assemblies.

I believe that the setting 'DisableOptimizations' meens that "Optimize code" is not checked. Therefore the setting 'IsJITOptimizerDisabled' is true. 


'IsJITOptimizerDisabled' : 'true if the runtime optimizer is disabled; otherwise, false.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.debuggableattribute.isjitoptimizerdisabled(v=vs.90).aspx

 A release build assembly (System.dll for example) has following debug attributes (use reflector):

[assembly: Debuggable(DebuggableAttribute.DebuggingModes.IgnoreSymbolStoreSequencePoints)]

(This is not the same as actipro assemblies)

Perhaps this is because I am using an old version 9.1.515 ?

Hi Krijn,

That attribute is certainly not present in the current release versions. We switch from Dotfuscator to Smart Assembly last year and I believe that Dotfuscator may have been adding that option. In any event, the current releases are not affected.
