How to make {$ IFNDEF DEBUG} work in lazarus / osx project

Question

I need to disable some code when running under the debugger.

So, I just imagine what to do:

{$IFNDEF DEBUG} 
  ...
{$ENDIF}

However, the code inside ifndef runs in the debugger, causing it to crash.

I have lazarus 0.9.29 and FPC 2.4.0

Answer 1

The compiler directives you mention are actually these: compiler directives, not debug directives.

They relate to the compilation process, because it is completely separate from the debugging system.

What you need to do:

• If you want to debug a program, define the DEBUG symbol. This will NOT compile blocks that exist inside the tests, and will not run in a debugging session.
• , DEBUG, .
