Jack Jansen added the comment: Martin, what I meant by "linking debug and non-debug builds together is impossible" is "you cannot link modules together if they code generation has been set to different runtime systems, for example one module using the debug runtime system and another using th

Jack Jansen added the comment: Martin, I agree about the Py_DEBUG issue. My reason for asking is really only a workaround for the VC++ problam that you can't link non-debug and debug builds together. You know what: if you think it isn't worth it just assign it to me and I'll try to go the ex

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: Jack: what's the issue with the external dependencies? Just run Tool/buildbot/external.bat (or external-amd64.bat, or external-common.bat), and be done. If you merely want to debug your extension modules, I recommend *not* to turn on Py_DEBUG, but only enab

Jack Jansen added the comment: Sorry, I think I wasn't clear in my original message. I don't want to debug Python, I want to debug only my own code. But because it embeds Python I cannot debug my own code, because it needs to link to Python. Indeed, if it was only Python itself I would have b

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: But for a debug build to be really useful, the source code must be available to the debugger. Compiling these source files is really a matter of minutes... provided that external dependencies are all present and also compiled in debug mode. -- n

New submission from Jack Jansen : Because VC++ cannot cross-link modules that have been built with debugging to those built without debugging (because of runtime system differences) it would be a boon for people embedding Python if there was a binary distribution of the DLL (and .lib) availabl
