Why build with debug works but release doesn't?

Question

I am able to build examples in Cyclone DDS with Debug/x64 (output type is DLL ), I need to build them in Release/X64, in both builds shows the same 3 errors when I open the examples code but build always all succeed, (VS2017)

but in debug, output DLLs works fines, in release DLLs do not work

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State

Github page says

Note that the default build type is a release build with debug information included (RelWithDebInfo), 
which is generally the most convenient type of build to use from applications because of a good mix 
between performance and still being able to debug things. If you'd rather have a Debug or pure 
Release build, set CMAKE_BUILD_TYP

And I have followed the default installation which is RelWithDebInfo

Should I build CyclonesDDS installation with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYP=RELEASE in order to build my example code in Release/x64 mode? or should I modify the example codes?

Why did you delete your last question and repost it? Now everyones useful comments are lost. Please show the compiler output (from the output window) as text not as a screenshot of the errors window — Alan Birtles, Mar 15 '21 at 08:19
Deleting and reposting the same question because you didn't like people's feedback on the original post instead of editing the post based on that feedback makes people less likely to help you the second time around; and more likely to get the question closed and deleted. — Casey, Mar 15 '21 at 08:30
@Casey that was not the case... originally question was wrong, that's why I deleted it, some unrelated error was in that previous question, — kobi89, Mar 15 '21 at 08:53
Looks like the code is building successfully? What's the problem? — Alan Birtles, Mar 15 '21 at 08:54
@Alan Birtles problem is in release build output DLLs are not working.... but if I build in debug DLL is working..... I just noticed there is --> **ANTLR Tool version 4.4 used for code generation does not match the current runtime version 4.5ANTLR Tool version 4.4 used for code generation does not match the current runtime version 4.5** is this the issue? — kobi89, Mar 15 '21 at 08:59
@kobi89 If that's the case, you should have edited it to fix the typo, answered your own question stating as such, or closed it as "unreproducable or a typo". — Casey, Mar 15 '21 at 08:59
@Alan Birtles I run DLLs using two exes. and I print output on every step as in the linked example code, (debug/x64 they print as it is) on the command prompt. but in a Release Build, I don't get any printed value on the command prompt... and the console exe closes after few seconds itself. it not defined in my code... — kobi89, Mar 15 '21 at 09:09
have you tried running in a debugger? sounds like your application is crashing — Alan Birtles, Mar 15 '21 at 09:19
Unfortunately, I can't understand what the problem is, because of contradictory statements (does / does not work). Regarding the error from a comment, is runtime version referring to *.NET* or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35116437/errors-when-linking-to-protobuf-3-on-ms-visual-c/35118400#35118400 or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8528437/when-using-fstream-in-a-library-i-get-linker-errors-in-the-executable/41558269#41558269? — CristiFati, Mar 15 '21 at 10:02
@CristiFati cyclonedds installation type is RelWithDebInfo.... and VS debug build dlls runs without issue... since I am trying to build VS in the release, should I install cyclonedds in release mode? — kobi89, Mar 15 '21 at 10:16
Generally, *RelWithDebInfo* is compatible with *Release*. Didn't work with *Cyclone DDS* though. — CristiFati, Mar 15 '21 at 10:28

Why build with debug works but release doesn't?
