[gmx-developers] plans for GROMACS 2017 release cycle

[Berk Hess]

But you should be able to get some (limited) information by attaching a 
debugger to an aldready running process with a release build.

If you plan on compiling and running a new case, use a release + debug 
symbols build. That should run as fast as a release build.

Cheers,

Berk
