Time Plugins: Cannot be loaded in RelWithDebInfo Mode about ecal HOT 4 OPEN

Yeah, not 100% sure why we have them in the first place. For debug we do, because we do often package debug and release artefacts in the same directories....

Indeed it behaves as described. We have two options:
If we're in RelWithDebInfo build, we search only / first dlls/so with the reldbg extension.
So should we:

• only search for plugins with the "correct" extension?
• Search for mulitple plugins, and if so, in which order

#if defined(_DEBUG) && !defined(NDEBUG)
    // RelWithDebInfo configuration
#else
    // Other configuration
#endif

Relevant lines are here:

What about not using custom postfixes? I.e: Delete this block of code

(I guess you could leave the debug postfix, as its a thing some projects do...)

Otherwise you also have this problem with MinSizeRel too.

Release, MinSizeRel and RelWithDebInfo are all release builds after all, so makes some sense to not distinguish between them.

from ecal.

Exactly that's why we have those postfixes. They especially matter for Windows, where we have to provide special builds in Debug and Release mode. And if those shall go in the same directory, they must have different names, obviously. We maybe(?) can ditch the minsize and reldbg versions though, as I think the binary interface only differs between Debug and Non-Debug.
