That would work great! I agree that
whatever is done, it should be non breaking to existing true/false settings.

debug=true/full and DEBUG
Hi,
I agree that it would've been better to
not implicitly set symbols, but instead leave it up to the build authors to use
the define attribute for this purpose.
I'm not sure whether its a good idea to
introduce such a (breaking) change. We could ofcourse not define any symbols
when the "debug" attribute is set to Full, PdbOnly or None.
What do you think ?
Gert

debug=true/full and DEBUG
I am wondering about another issue that I
initially thought might be helped by the change below, but it turned out
not quite. I think this has been asked before (a long time ago), but I
figured I'd ask again.
Currently (in cvs), the csc task sets the
DEBUG symbol if debug is true, Full, or PdbOnly. That is fairly limiting
in the first two cases and I think conceptually "wrong" in the last
case. By setting DEBUG, many conditionally compiled functions are
included in the compiled assembly. In the PdbOnly case, that is probably
not what is desired. Someone using PdbOnly probably wants a
"release" style build but with a pdb file. They will instead
get all their DEBUG stuff included (Debug.Writeline, Debug.Assert, etc).
Our situation is slightly different.
We would like to turn on the debug build (to include debugging symbols), but
*not* define DEBUG. In VS.NET project files, I believe it's possible to
control debug symbols separately from compilation symbols such as DEBUG.
We've wished for a while that this was possible in the <csc> task.
Any thoughts on perhaps another entry in the DebugOutput enum that would allow
this sort of situation? Or some other workaround?
Thanks!!

I've just added support for the different
debug types to cvs. Before this change, our compiler tasks only supported
either full debug output or no debug output at all.
