libstdc++

In C++, most of the libs come in Debug/Release versions. Question 1. What are the big difference between Debug and Release versions (e.g. what advantages do you have using one versus the other).

Question 2. A lib is just has an implementation of the functions, how does a function implementation change if you are using debug/release versions?

Question 3. Can you ever build your app in debug mode and use a release version of a lib?

Thanks.
