The setting causes the strip command-line tool to be used to strip the
binary instead of the linker. But Daniel's conclusion is a bit
backwards -- the linker has more information about how the binary is
built, so it can do a better job of stripping the executable.
SEPARATE_STRIP exists as a setting because over the years there have
sometimes been a few problems where using the linker to strip the
binary would cause linking to fail. If you don't need it, though,
using the linker to strip (as Xcode does by default) is better.

Hmm - this setting is news to me, too. I'm glad to know about it!
I'm assuming it's Apple's solution to the fact that, for whatever
reason, the linker's version of stripping doesn't seem to be as
effective as the command-line version of stripping. I have up to now
included a "strip the executable" phase in my distribution script,
precisely to achieve this level of stripping. Now that I know about
the build option, I'll use that instead.

Thanks, I missed that for my project. I learn something new every
day :D
Can someone explain exactly what this setting does? I don't
understand what the description in the settings window means.
Semi-layman's terms?
