Hey all! I'm getting desperate trying to get a RelWithDebInfo build working...
Some context:I've released a pre-alpha demo to my Discord community and have since been very busy hunting bugs.
I now found a couple of bugs that apparently only appear in a Release build and not in the Debug build.
Since the Release build does not contain any symbol data, I cannot find the source of these bugs.
Theoretically I figured building with RelWithDebInfo should provide a optimized release build that DOES contain symbol data and allows me to at least see where the error is coming from.
The problem:When running the game after building with RelWithDebInfo and using the debug dlls, I get a weird error from within the dll I believe: "Stack cookie instrumentation code detected a stack-based buffer overrun."
When using the release dlls, I get an error about missing the needed debug dlls, so apparently it is still expecting debug dlls when building with RelWithDebInfo, which seems odd to me.
I'm using the pre-built dlls from the SFML download page.
I'm unclear if either Debug or Release dlls should be used when building with RelWithDebInfo.
Things I've tried without success:- Manually building dlls from the SFML master branch with the RelWithDebInfo setting (results in release dlls that are bigger than the regular release dlls) - Afterward renaming these to be picked up as debug dlls
My CmakeLists (DEBUG_MODE is only used for copying the right dlls):cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
