/*!
\qmlproperty bool qbs::enableDebugCode
- Whether to compile debug code in the product.
+ Whether to enable debug functionality in the product. Not to be confused
+ with generation of debug symbols or the code optimization level.
+
+ The property changes the following things when enabled:
+ \list
+ \li Passes a flag to the Windows linker to link against a debug
+ Windows CRT (common runtime) library
+ (for example /MTd instead of /MT)
+ \endlist
+
+ The property changes the following things when disabled:
+ \list
+ \li Passes the \c{NDEBUG} define to the compiler
+ \endlist
Typically, this property is enabled for debug builds and disabled for
release builds.
