I say go for it. I believe that the reason was so that you could install both the debug and release versions. IMO, it ends up being a pain in the butt, since an app must be compiled against the correct version, and you can't simply install the debug version of a library without recompiling the app.
It would be better if the libraries used the same names and an app could switch between the debug and release version of a library simply by copying in the new file. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:ofw- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Uri Habusha > Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 1:21 AM > To: [email protected]; Smith, Stan > Subject: [ofw] removing the dpecial debug file > > Currently the OFA build creates different files for debug and release > version (i.e complib.dll for release and complibd.dll for debug). > > > > 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.
