Unsolved Debug exports getting added to final release executable when using QML

[Znurre]

Hi,

I am using Qt and QML in an application, and linking to Qt statically.

The resulting binary includes exports like these (on Windows, other platforms not verified):

qt_qmlDebugClearBuffer
qt_qmlDebugConnectionBlocker
qt_qmlDebugConnectorOpen

I have checked the Qt source, and determined that these exports are part of the qmldbg_native plugin. The problem is, I have no idea why that plugin would be included in my build, as I am building in release, and QT_QML_DEBUG is not defined.

Does anyone have any suggestion?
