Description
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-test-function-reference.html#built-in-test-functions states that
CONFIG(debug, debug|release):message(Debug build!):
can be used to detect a debug build.
However, the condition also triggers for release builds were CONFIG is
lex yacc debug exceptions depend_includepath testcase_targets import_plugins import_qpa_plugin windows file_copies qmake_use qt warn_on release link_prl flat debug_and_release debug_and_release_target precompile_header autogen_precompile_source embed_manifest_dll embed_manifest_exe shared shared release incredibuild_xge no_plugin_manifest win32 msvc copy_dir_files debug DebugBuild Debug build_pass c++11
(debug is again found after release) as opposed to Linux:
lex yacc debug exceptions depend_includepath testcase_targets import_plugins import_qpa_plugin file_copies qmake_use qt warn_on release link_prl incremental shared shared release linux unix posix gcc
This causes Qt Creator builds to report
Project MESSAGE: Mismatching build config (Debug vs Release) setting QTC_CLANG_BUILDMODE_MISMATCH
for Windows release builds ( see https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/266418 ).
