The app is compiled as usual and debugging symbols are generated. There's also the usual Just-In-Time compilation which is not unique to debugging.

It is built with the addition of PDB files that allow for debugging.

going deep inside debug is just a config type in MSBUILD
whatever you have in MSBUILD in the DEBUG section would be done
