The Debug configuration of your program is compiled with full symbolic debug information and no optimization. Optimization complicates debugging, because the relationship between source code and generated instructions is more complex.

The Release configuration of your program contains no symbolic debug information and is fully optimized. Debug information can be generated in Program Database Files (C++), depending on the compiler options that are used. Creating PDB files can be very useful if you later have to debug your release version.
