If the project uses libraries, which have been compiled with line number 
information, then you are right.

However I don't think that the patterns  of how a project is 
created/managed will remain unchanged from what they are now when build 
configurations are used into the IDE. You may consider looking and 
MSVC++, which support Debug/Release configuration: Release is typically 
set up to build with debug info, against debug libs (which are built 
with debug info) etc. Release config builds without all that and is 
typically optimized.
Try to debug into the Release version of a library :-)
