Are Delphi 2007 (or 2009) events related to building configurations?

Question

Can I add assembly events only for a specific build configuration in Delphi 2007?

I use 2007, but you will be interested in what you can do in 2009 as well.

Answer 1

No.

You may have (resources) compiler options for each build configuration in Delphi 2009. But this does not apply to other settings.

You can fake it, but it takes some time:

• In prebuild, delete the conf * .dcu files.
• Define DEBUG for debug configuration.
• Add the following to the project file:

code:

uses .. {$IFDEF DEBUG} confDebug, {$ELSE} confRelease, {$ENDIF} .. 

• Now let post post build check for confDebug.dcu or confRelease.dcu to find which build configuration is being used.

It's a little cumbersome, but you can do what you want.

Answer 2

Yes!

As you can have separate defines in each assembly configuration. You can check what your project defines to handle conditional assembly.

I am using something like this:

 echo $(DEFINES) | find "RELEASE"> nul if not errorlevel 1 goto release echo $(DEFINES) | find "DEBUG" > nul if not errorlevel 1 goto debug goto end :release echo Processing RELEASE Build: ... goto end :debug echo Processing DEBUG Build: .. goto end :end 

Answer 3

Try the following:

 if $(Config) == Release do_something
