DEPRECATED: improved version available here

CTrace

C/C++ logging library.

The library is divided in these 2 parts:

CTrace

Lightweight cross-platform logging library.

CWinTrace

Pretty much the same as CTrace but adds the following features:

• Console ouput uses colors.
• Can retrieve windows error messages.
• TCHAR support.

Usage

CTrace

void important_function(void)
{
  /* these are not necessary but often useful */
  CTRACE_ENTER_FN();
  
  /* ... does stuff ... */
  
  if (/* condition */) {
    /* An error has occured. Log it and return. */
    CTRACEE("oops! %d - %s", some_number, some_string);
    CTRACE_EXIT_FN();
    return;
  }
  
  /* ... more stuff ... */
  
  /* these are not necessary but often useful */
  CTRACE_EXIT_FN();
}

CWinTrace

void important_function(void)
{
  /* these are not necessary but often useful */
  CWTRACE_ENTER_FN();
  
  /* ... does stuff ... */
  
  if (/* condition */) {
    /* An error has occured. Log it and return. */
    CWTRACEE(TEXT("oops! %d - %s"), some_number, some_wide_string);
    CWTRACE_EXIT_FN();
    return;
  }
  
  /* ... more stuff ... */
  
  /* these are not necessary but often useful */
  CWTRACE_EXIT_FN();
}
