In my opinion, I need the debugger and I think that it plays a very crucial role in my daily development activities.

I think it is perfectly fine to work in release mode and swtich to debugger only when a bug needs to be fixed.

I am getting these errors because the corresponding libraries are not getting linked.

I was I'm not able to find something like GetThreadCount() the thread pool API.

DWORD GetThreadCount()
{
    THREADENTRY32 stThreadEntry = {0};
    stThreadEntry.dwSize = sizeof( stThreadEntry );
    HANDLE hSnap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot( TH32CS_SNAPTHREAD, 0 );

On the other hand, it looks like this is going to return me the number of threads that my application is running

I want to be able to find the number of threads that specifically belong to the pool. I think I'll need to put in a bit more research.

ya. I thought if the module is small, you know the count of other threads.

BTW where is the option to find out the thread pool's thread count in process explorer?
