Use different names for debug and release libraries and executables #1563

Open crazydef opened 4 years ago

crazydef commented 4 years ago

Can you please name debug libraries and executables differently to release versions?

The standard way that this is usually achieved is through having a d suffix appended to the end of the name for debug versions:

mosquittod.lib, mosquittod.dll vs mosquitto.lib, mosquitto.dll etc.

This would make integrating to other systems and build processes much simpler.

This is normal practice for executables as well as libraries?

I guess end users don't usually see debug executables that often, but it's something I'm used to seeing (after nearly 30 years of working as a developer).
