 We are using RelWithDebInfo for mingw and other non-Windows builds but

+
+ABI checks
+
+Until the conversion of the build to cmake, we relied on running the
+test suite with old executables and a new library. When QPDFJob was
+introduced, this method got much less reliable since a lot of public
+API doesn't cross the shared library boundary. Also, when switching to
+cmake, we wanted a stronger check that the library had the expected
+ABI.
+
+Our ABI check now consists of three parts:
+
+* The same check as before: run the test suite with old executables
+  and a new library
+
+* Do a literal comparison of the symbols in the old and new shared
+  libraries -- this is a strong test of ABI change
+
+* Do a check to ensure that object sizes didn't change -- even with no
+  changes to the API of exported functions, size changes break API
+
+The combination of these checks is pretty strong, though there are
+still things that could potentially break ABI, such as
+
+* Changes to the types of public or protected data members without
+  changing the size
+
+* Changes to the meanings of parameters with changing the signature
+
+Not breaking ABI/API still requires care.
+
+The check_abi script is responsible for performing many of these
+steps. See comments in check_abi for additional notes. Running
+"check_abi check-sizes" is run by ctest on Linux when CHECK_SIZES is
+on.
