Detecting whether a program is running in a debug mode or environment can be useful for various purposes, such as enabling or disabling certain features, adjusting logging levels, or controlling the behavior of the application during development versus production.
Use preprocessor directives to conditionally include or exclude code during compilation.
Check for the presence of environment variables that are typically set in debugging environments.
Use assertions to include debug-only checks in your code. These checks are typically disabled in release builds.
Adjust the logging level based on whether the program is running in debug mode. Debug-level logs can provide additional information during development.
Some compilers provide specific directives that can be used to detect debug builds.
it's essential to ensure that any debug-related checks do not introduce security vulnerabilities or impact the performance of your production code.
