is there any way to tell if a debug build is being built or not

[olonho]

you could use different source sets in debug and release builds and set anything you want to different values

[Smallville7123]

how do i set different arguments for different build tasks

[Smallville7123]

eg, runReleaseExecutableLinux and runDebugExecutableLinux

[Smallville7123]

in

linuxX64("linux") {
        binaries {
            executable {
                // Change to specify fully qualified name of your application's entry point:
               entryPoint = 'sample.main'
                // Specify command-line arguments, if necessary:
                runTask?.args('-t')
            }
        }
    }

Actually in this example the executable call is just a shortcut creating both debug and release executables and configuring them in the same way. But you can create and configure them separately:

linuxX64("linux") {
    binaries {
        executable(listOf(DEBUG)) { /* Debug configuration */ }
        executable(listOf(RELEASE)) { /* Release configuration */ }
    }
}

You also can access already created binary and perform additional configurations. The example below uses the apply function from the Kotlin DSL but the getExecutable is available for Groovy DSL too.

linuxX64("linux") {
    binaries {
        getExecutable("DEBUG").apply { /* Additional configurations. */}
    }
}

This example shows how to configure a project with different sources for debug and release build: https://github.com/ilmat192/kotlin-native-gradle-samples/tree/master/debug-logger.

ok

[Smallville7123]

so the getExecutable will only work if it has actually been built before?

getExecutable(DEBUG) {

Sorry, I used Kotlin DSL here. Use the following snipped for Groovy DSL:

linuxX64("linux") {
    binaries {
        executable([DEBUG]) { /* Debug configuration */ }
        executable([RELEASE]) { /* Release configuration */ }
    }
}

ok
