10 // This file implements a handy way of adding debugging information to your
11 // code, without it being enabled all of the time, and without having to add
12 // command line options to enable it.
14 // In particular, just wrap your code with the DEBUG() macro, and it will be
15 // enabled automatically if you specify '-debug' on the command-line.
16 // Alternatively, you can also define the DEBUG_TYPE macro to "foo" specify
17 // that your debug code belongs to class "foo". Be careful that you only do
18 // this after including Debug.h and not around any #include of headers. Headers
19 // should define and undef the macro acround the code that needs to use the
20 // DEBUG() macro. Then, on the command line, you can specify '-debug-only=foo'
21 // to enable JUST the debug information for the foo class.
23 // When compiling without assertions, the -debug-* options and all code in
24 // DEBUG() statements disappears, so it does not affect the runtime of the code.
