[Paraview] Detecting build type in C++ code

[Mike Jackson]

Here is a copy of CMake's flags for a ParaView build.

  CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
  CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG            -gdwarf-2
  CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_MINSIZEREL       -Os -DNDEBUG -DQT_NO_DEBUG
  CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE          -O3 -DNDEBUG -DQT_NO_DEBUG
  CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO   -O2 -gdwarf-2 -DQT_NO_DEBUG

As you can see for a Release build "NDEBUG" is defined so I might try  
the following:

#ifndef (NDEBUG)
	// Debug statements are printed
   std::cout << .... Debug.. blah blah
#else
	 //Really fast release code here.
#endif

Cheers
