Bug.h is a set of macro definitions that allow you fairly fine
control over what parts of a program execute. It allows you to
designate portions of code and printf statements that will execute
only when you are debugging, and portions that will execute only
when you are NOT debugging. Debugging messages can be left in the
source code at no cost in object size. Time consuming portions of
code that are known to work well can be skipped during debugging and
will automatically be included in a regular compile. Messages that
identify functions or specific locations as well as the value of
variables will automatically be included when debugging and ignored
when not debugging.

The compiler directive -D is used to tell the compiler when you
are debugging; when debugging use:

cc -ddebug file.c

When through debugging, use:

cc file.c

Put the following include as the last of your include statements:

#include bug.h

Then you can use the following macros to set up your file and the
compiler will handle the details.


The following two macros take the place of printf() statements
you would normally use for debugging. All the normal printf()
functions are supported.

DB_PRINT(stuff); prints stuff only when Debug is defined
NDB_PRINT(stuff); prints stuff only when Debug is NOT defined

Inside of parends is exactly like inside of parends in printf()
EXCEPT! you must use COMMA instead of actual "," The word
COMMA must be in capital letters (So must DB_PRINT etc.)

Example: DB_PRINT("This will be printed only when debugging\n");
DB_PRINT("x = %d temp = %s" COMMA x COMMA temp);


The following two macros allow sections of code to be ignored
or executed depending on whether you are debugging or not.

DEBUG(
statement;
statement;
etc.
) statements execute only when debug is defined

N_DEBUG(
statement;
statement;
etc.
) statements execute only when debug is NOT defined

Your compiler may limit the amount of material allowed between
the parends of these statements. You may get a "Macro too long"
error. If so, split the stuff up into several DEBUG( sections.


The following macro provides an easy way to tell how far a program
gets in execution. the "msg" in HERE is usually a label or the
name of the current function.


HERE("msg") put anywhere in source file will print the
msg, source file name and line number on screen if debug is defined
... otherwise HERE() is ignored & uses no memory.


see bug.c for examples of how to use these macros

have fun,

Dr. Bob
