Problem: 

What are the differences between different release packages?

Solution:

Generally, there are 3 types of builds provided:

1. Debug build:  The debug version allows you to debug your application by stepping though it with a debugger. This build tends to be used when you are developing your application. 
   
   
2. Inline build:  The inline build is faster and is usually used when the application is being deployed. It improves performance of a program as it allows the compiler to expand a function call inline. 
   
   For example,  if MyClass::setVal () is declared as an inline method:
   
   MyClass myClass;
   myClass.setVal (27);
   
   The compiler inline-expands the code as if you called:
   
   MyClass myClass;
   myClass.val = 27;
   
   This removes the overhead of actually calling a function, which saves registers, stack frames, etc. 
   
   
3. Standard:  This is a non-inline non-debug build.
