Warning: Analysis of Release Build
Symptoms
A message appears when you start the Dependencies tool and the current build options selected
for the project
is a Release build.
Details
To produce the best results, your build settings for the Dependencies tool should specify debug information and no optimization. If possible, use a minimal data set for the Dependencies tool.
When a tool is waiting for your input (click either
Continue
or
Cancel
), the result name has a
[!]
prefix. If you do not respond within several minutes, the tool implicitly chooses the Cancel button.
Cause
For the Dependencies tool, you should use a Debug build of your program, not a Release build.
Possible Solution
- Before you respond to the message, change to use Debug build settings and build the target executable. When it completes, clickContinueto run the analysis.
- ClickContinueand ignore this message. Later, run this tool again with a target built from Debug build settings.
- ClickCancel. Change to use Debug build settings and build the target executable. Then run the Dependencies tool.
