Does CMake default to release or debug?

It will now default to using a debug build if the source directory is a git clone, or a release build if not. It is also quite easy to customize its behavior according to the preferences of your project.

How do I run CMake in debug mode?

C++ debugging You can run CMake with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug for full debugging, or RelWithDebInfo for a release build with some extra debug info.

How do I debug CMake scripts?

You can also start a debug session from Solution Explorer. First, switch to CMake Targets View in the Solution Explorer window. Then, right-click on an executable and select Debug. This command automatically starts debugging the selected target based on your active configuration.

Does CMake define debug?

CMake refers to different build configurations as a Build Type. Suggested build types are values such as Debug and Release, but CMake allows any type that is supported by the build tool.

Can be controlled by setting CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable, see cmake docs.
