some debug tracing mods
Posted: Tue Oct 05, 2010 9:41 am
1) swap out the pattern of
new paradigm:
No more dealing with formatting sprintf crepes, just stream out variables. Also, DebugTrace washes out in release automatically. (TODO, need to sweep through the rest of the app to apply the changes to all the cases where OutputDebugString() is being called)
2) added two traces to follow adding/resolving things on the stack;
3) changed the uninformative "stack object" string that was the default for base class interrupts to use typeinfo(*this).name() so that you can actually see the derived class in the trace output. Here's a sample of what my trace output looks like now:
Code: Select all
#if defined (WIN32) || defined (LINUX)
char buf[4096], *p = buf;
sprintf(buf, "Some debug message showing variables %i and %i\n", variableA, variableB);
OutputDebugString(buf);
#endifCode: Select all
DebugTrace("Some debug message showing variables " << variableA <<" and " << variableB);

3) changed the uninformative "stack object" string that was the default for base class interrupts to use typeinfo(*this).name() so that you can actually see the derived class in the trace output. Here's a sample of what my trace output looks like now:
- Action added to stack: Devoted Hero
Resolving Action on stack: Devoted Hero
Action added to stack: class NextGamePhase
Resolving Action on stack: class NextGamePhase
Action added to stack: class NextGamePhase
Resolving Action on stack: class NextGamePhase
Action added to stack: class StackAbility
Resolving Action on stack: class StackAbility
Action added to stack: class DrawAction
Resolving Action on stack: class DrawAction
