581290 - Android debug builds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Wu [:mwu]]

I think it would be nice to have debug builds of android so something can turn red if debug builds are broken.

It would be nice to get android debug builds if only so that we can run reftests/crashtests on them.  (I don't know the bug # for that work.)  Reftests and crashtests track the number of assertions triggered by tests, which is extremely useful, but that code only works in debug builds.

I just landed a patch that I had to back out due to mysterious crashes on Maemo Talos, and it took me quite a while to work out the problem.  If debug builds were on, the tests would have hit an assertion that I put in and the problem would have been much more obvious.

got another regression in bug 628372 that this would have caught.

Aki, got an ETA for this?

Turns them on for m-c, m-aurora, m-beta, m-2.1 as a depend build.
Adds mozconfigs as appropriate.

I will stage this.
