Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

ForAllDebugChannels

#define ForAllDebugChannels

(

STATEMENT...

)

Looping over all debug channels.

The macro ForAllDebugChannels allows you to run over all debug channels.

For example,

ForAllDebugChannels( while (!debugChannel.is_on()) debugChannel.on() );

which turns all channels on.  And

ForAllDebugChannels( if (debugChannel.is_on()) debugChannel.off() );

which turns all channels off.

ForAllDebugObjects

#define ForAllDebugObjects

(

STATEMENT...

)

Looping over all debug objects.

The macro ForAllDebugObjects allows you to run over all debug objects.

For example,

ForAllDebugObjects( debugObject.set_ostream(&std::cerr, &cerr_mutex) );

would set the output stream of all debug objects to std::cerr.

Function Documentation

find_channel()

channel_ct * libcwd::find_channel

(

char const *

label

)

Find debug channel with label label.

Returns

A pointer to the debug channel object whose name starts with label.  If there is more than one such debug channel, the object with the lexicographically largest name is returned.  When no debug channel could be found, NULL is returned.

list_channels_on()

void libcwd::list_channels_on

(

debug_ct &

debug_object

)

List all debug channels to a given debug object.

Example:

Dout( list_channels_on(libcw_do) );   // libcw_do is the (default) debug object of libcwd.

Example of output:

DEBUG   : Disabled
NOTICE  : Enabled
WARNING : Enabled
SYSTEM  : Enabled
MALLOC  : Disabled
LLISTS  : Disabled
KERNEL  : Disabled
IO      : Disabled
FOO     : Enabled
BAR     : Enabled

Where FOO and BAR are user defined channels in this example.
