<h3 class="section">9.3 The Build Mode</h3>
<p><a name="index-Mode-430"></a>
GPS provides an easy way to build your project with different options, through
the Mode selection, located in the main toolbar.
<p>When the Mode selection is set to <code>default</code>, the build is done using the
switches defined in the project. When the Mode selection is set to another
value, then specialized parameters are passed to the builder. For instance, the
<code>gcov</code> Mode adds all the compilation parameters needed to instrument the
produced objects and executables to work with the <code>gcov</code> tool.
<p>In addition to changing the build parameters, the Mode selection has the effect
of changing the output directory for objects and executables. For instance,
objects produced under the <code>debug</code> mode will be located in the
<code>debug</code> subdirectories of the object directories defined by the project.
This allows switching from one Mode to another without having to erase the
objects pertaining to a different Mode.
<p>It is possible to define new Modes using XML customization, see
<a href="Customizing-build-Targets-and-Models.html#Customizing-build-Targets-and-Models">Customizing build Targets and Models</a>.
<p>Note that the Build Mode affects only builds done using recent versions of
gnatmake and gprbuild. The Mode selection has no effect on builds done through
Targets that launch other builders.
