--- Comment #1 from Dennis <dkorpel@live.nl> ---
There's now precedence for version identifiers based on codegen flags with `D_Optimized`: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/14245

Still, I would like to have solid rationale before adding another.

What kind of feature is annoying when debugging? Also, can't you pass `-g -version=disableFeatureThatIsAnnoyingWhenDebugging`?

Dplug software has a mouse hook that is active to allow using the mouse wheel when dragging outside of the window. Others OSes can do that, but Windows needs a mouse hook.

When debugging, this is extra slow, but in normal times it is invisible. Hence, for practicality it's better to disable this.

- D_Optimized is obviously not the same as D_Optimized, it's frequent to want to debug optimized builds


- I don't see why -g would one of the only flags you can detect. -g is the closest flag to "I will debug this interactively".

> Also, can't you pass `-g -version=disableFeatureThatIsAnnoyingWhenDebugging`?

No. That doesn't solve the problem, as we use dub, and version identifiers are set by configurations not build types.

Why D don't create corresponding versions for all simple flags?

Some sample flags
DMD -g -debug -inline

will have following defined versions, Dflag can be shorten to Df Dflag_g  Dflag_debug Dflag_inline

so usage is
version(Dflag_g)
version(Dflag_debug)
version(Dflag_inline)

That's not what this bug is about, it's just about -g
