Hello,

I would like to use VS's configuration setting while compiling.
For example when configuration is "Debug" I want to include certain lines of code (eg. codes that will log stuff to a file for later analysis that I don't need in the final release), but when configuration is "Release" I don't want these lines of code to be present in the compiled program that is uploaded to the Arduino.

I know that "release" will prevent breakpoints (and it's associated code) to be excluded. This doesn't cover what I'm looking for.
I also know I could use "#define DEBUG" in combination with #ifdef DEBUG. 
While releasing I have to remember to comment-out the #define-line.
But this requires me not to forget it... combine that with me being only human.... and you see my issue. 

Is there any way to accomplish this?
To be able to read Visual Studio's active configuration (Debug or Release or other ones I might define in Visual Studio)

As always, your answers are so fast and so to the point. 
This is exactly what I need.

Thanks a lot.
