LPCXpresso IDE confusion about preprocessor symbol DEBUG

[FONT=Arial]I'm using LPCXpresso v5.1.2 [Build 2065]

In a release build, the IDE does not gray out code within a block such as:
[/FONT]

#if defined(DEBUG) // diagnostic tasks...
  static void vTaskTestSpoileronServo(void *pvParameters)
  { ... } // this line is shown normally (not grayed out as it should be in release build)
#else
  static void vTaskSpoileronServo(void *pvParameters)
  { ... } // this line is grayed out (instead of shown normally as expected for release build)
#endif // defined(DEBUG)

[FONT=Arial]The IDE seems convinced that the symbol DEBUG is defined, which it is not in the release build (really, I checked). The release code compiles and operates as expected, as does the debug code.

Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Best Regards, Dave

Goto:

Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Indexer

Change

- Use the build configuration specified in the project's indexer settings

to:

- Use the active build configuration

[Personally I would like this to be the default setting for new workspaces, but unfortunately there is currently a known issue with Eclipse in that it doesn't allow this to be done.]

I changed the project's indexer setting instead, so I don't have to reset it when I export/import the project (if 5.2.2 ever works for me).
That does it, Thanks !
