Project Settings Dialog

Compile for Debugging

If this option is set, then NTK creates a debug slot for all named templates. (If you have manually added such a slot to a template, NTK does not override it.) The value stored in the slot is the name of the template. The debug slot is created when the project is compiled; therefore, you do not see it in the browser.

In addition, NTK sets the compile-time constant debugOn to true if Compile for Debugging is checked. If the option is off, the constant is set to nil.
