Question
How do I create debug and release profiles for a project?
So I have an STM32 project in VSC and when I first set up this project and started debugging, I vaguely remember being asked by VSC to create a launch.json file.
Now it seems I can build a ‘debug’ session, and launch it, and debug with all the usual features like step-in, step-out, continue, and so on. But how do I now add a ‘release’ build, which strips debug info and allows me to program a device without debugging it?
[I am trying to be a good citizen and get along with STM32 for VSC, but so far it seems like i) A retrograde step ii)A mix of modern UI’s and very old looking Java (MX) and iii)You need a science degree in CMAKE to understand anything. ]
My launch.json looks like this:
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
