Detailed Description

This class is used to display debug or error messages.

It needs to be initialized with the file name, function name and line, of the place where it is created. It is best used by first instanciating the object and directly calling the () operator. This is used to mimic variadic macros.

This class is used to define the following macros:

• Macros for tracing: vpTRACE(), vpERROR_TRACE(), vpIN_FCT() and vpOUT_FCT() work like printf with carreer return at the end of the string, while vpCTRACE() and vpCERROR() work like the C++ output streams std::cout and std::cerr.
• Macros for debuging: vpDEBUG_TRACE(level) and vpDERROR_TRACE(level) work like printf, but print only if the tracing level level is greater than the debug level VP_DEBUG_MODE macro. vpCDEBUG(level) work like the C++ output stream std::cout. vpDEBUG_ENABLE(level) is equal to 1 if the debug level level is greater than the debug mode VP_DEBUG_MODE, 0 else.

The example below shows how to use these macros.

#define VP_TRACE        // Activate the trace mode
#define VP_DEBUG        // Activate the debug mode
#define VP_DEBUG_MODE 2 // Activate debug level 1 and 2

#include <visp/vpDebug.h>

int main()
{
  vpIN_FCT("main()");

  // Check the active debug levels
  std::cout << "Debug level 1 active: " << vpDEBUG_ENABLE(1) << std::endl;
  std::cout << "Debug level 2 active: " << vpDEBUG_ENABLE(2) << std::endl;
  std::cout << "Debug level 3 active: " << vpDEBUG_ENABLE(3) << std::endl;

  // C-like debug printings
  vpTRACE("C-like trace"); // stdout

  // Printing depend only VP_DEBUG_MODE value is >= 1
  vpTRACE(1, "C-like trace level 1");              // stdout
  vpERROR_TRACE(1, "C-like error trace level 1");  // stderr

  // Printing if VP_DEBUG defined and VP_DEBUG_MODE value >= 2
  vpDEBUG_TRACE(2, "C-like debug trace level 2");  // stdout
  vpDERROR_TRACE(2, "C-like error trace level 2"); // stderr

  // C++-like debug printings
  vpCTRACE << "C++-like trace" << std::endl; // stdout
  vpCERROR << "C++-like error trace" << std::endl; // stderr

  // Printing if VP_DEBUG defined and VP_DEBUG_MODE value >= 2
  vpCDEBUG(2) << "C++-like debug trace level 2" << std::endl; // stdout

  vpOUT_FCT("main()");
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

vpTraceOutput::vpTraceOutput ( const char *  file, int  line, const char *  func, bool  error = false, const char *  s = NULL  )

inline

Constructor.

Parameters

file	Should be the name of the file where this constructor was called.
line	Should be the line in file where this constructor was called.
func	Should be the name of the function where this constructor was called.
error	If true, writes to the error stream.
s	String to print before any other message (acts like a header).

Note

Call the constructor with something like vpTraceOutput(FILE,LINE, FUNCTION).
