Debug a release mode build?

[cdiesh]

Hey this might sound like a dumb question but is it possible to use the debugger on a release mode build?
I found that when I set breakpoint sin release mode, I couldn't get any breaks to activate, and I was just wondering if I was missing something or if this is simply impossible.

Thanks!

PS I'm using Windows 7 with Codelite 6.0 on wxWidgets app

The difference between a release and debug mode in codelite is that debug mode as the -g flag enabled
And optimizations are set to 0.
To debug a release configuration you need to add the -g flag to the compiler options .
