@jww What my answer says is what I've inferred from years of following the CMake mailing list. I've never seen anyone recommend not using CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE; in fact, if(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE) is sometimes used in CMakeLists to determine that a single-config generator is running. Therefore, I consider it best practice to always specify it.

| Dec 28, 2016 at 12:08 | comment | added | Angew is no longer proud of SO | @marmistrz I've added an update on why this happens, and how to "reset" it. I am trying to think of a way to achieve an implicit reset, but it's not easy. | |
| Dec 28, 2016 at 12:08 | comment | added | roalz | I don't remember where I've read it, but it's considered bad practice to set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE from inside a CMakeLists.txt. Prefer to pass it from CMake command line. | |

This works until I make a debug build. After a single debug build, all the subsequent ones are debug builds, even if cmake .. is used
