Re: "Debug" dll in "Release" application

I put "generation debug information" but it did not help.
Is there any Microsoft article that Debug and Release mixing is not permitted?

Tom:

It is permitted, but you have to be very careful. It is the same as with different versions of the compiler (debug and release are like different compilers, really).

You can make it work by

1. Being careful about the types you pass across the DLL boundary (no library objects). [This may not matter for debug/release of the same compiler, but it is a good thing to do if you can.]

2. Always using "delete" in the same place that you "new".
