10 @class wxDebugStreamBuf
13 This class allows you to treat debugging output in a similar
14 (stream-based) fashion on different platforms. Under
15 Windows, an ostream constructed with this buffer outputs
16 to the debugger, or other program that intercepts debugging
17 output. On other platforms, the output goes to standard error (cerr).
19 This is soon to be obsolete, replaced by wxLog functionality.
26 class wxDebugStreamBuf
38 A class for performing various debugging and memory tracing
39 operations. Full functionality (such as printing out objects
40 currently allocated) is only present in a debugging build of wxWidgets,
41 i.e. if the __WXDEBUG__ symbol is defined. wxDebugContext
42 and related functions and macros can be compiled out by setting
43 wxUSE_DEBUG_CONTEXT to 0 is setup.h
54 Checks the memory blocks for errors, starting from the currently set
57 @return Returns the number of errors, so a value of zero represents
58 success. Returns -1 if an error was detected that
59 prevents further checking.
64 Performs a memory dump from the currently set checkpoint, writing to the
65 current debug stream. Calls the @b Dump member function for each wxObject
68 @return @true if the function succeeded, @false otherwise.
73 Returns @true if the memory allocator checks all previous memory blocks for
75 By default, this is @false since it slows down execution considerably.
77 @see SetCheckPrevious()
79 bool GetCheckPrevious();
82 Returns @true if debug mode is on. If debug mode is on, the wxObject new and
84 operators store or use information about memory allocation. Otherwise,
85 a straight malloc and free will be performed by these operators.
92 Gets the debug level (default 1). The debug level is used by the wxTraceLevel
94 the WXTRACELEVEL macro to specify how detailed the trace information is; setting
95 a different level will only have an effect if trace statements in the
97 specify a value other than one.
98 This is obsolete, replaced by wxLog functionality.
105 Returns the output stream associated with the debug context.
106 This is obsolete, replaced by wxLog functionality.
113 Returns a pointer to the output stream buffer associated with the debug context.
114 There may not necessarily be a stream buffer if the stream has been set

121 Returns @true if there is a stream currently associated
122 with the debug context.
123 This is obsolete, replaced by wxLog functionality.
125 @see SetStream(), GetStream()
130 Prints a list of the classes declared in this application, giving derivation
131 and whether instances of this class can be dynamically created.
133 @see PrintStatistics()
138 Performs a statistics analysis from the currently set checkpoint, writing
139 to the current debug stream. The number of object and non-object
140 allocations is printed, together with the total size.
143 If @true, the function will also print how many
144 objects of each class have been allocated, and the space taken by
145 these class instances.
147 @see PrintStatistics()
149 bool PrintStatistics(bool detailed
= true);
152 Tells the memory allocator to check all previous memory blocks for errors.
153 By default, this is @false since it slows down execution considerably.
155 @see GetCheckPrevious()
157 void SetCheckPrevious(bool check
);
160 Sets the current checkpoint: Dump and PrintStatistics operations will
161 be performed from this point on. This allows you to ignore allocations
162 that have been performed up to this point.
165 If @true, the checkpoint is reset to include all
166 memory allocations since the program started.
168 void SetCheckpoint(bool all
= false);
171 Sets the debug mode on or off. If debug mode is on, the wxObject new and delete
172 operators store or use information about memory allocation. Otherwise,
173 a straight malloc and free will be performed by these operators.
174 By default, debug mode is on if __WXDEBUG__ is defined. If the application
175 uses this function, it should make sure that all object memory allocated
176 is deallocated with the same value of debug mode. Otherwise, the
177 delete operator might try to look for memory information that does not
182 void SetDebugMode(bool debug
);
185 Sets the current debug file and creates a stream. This will delete any existing
186 stream and stream buffer. By default, the debug context stream
187 outputs to the debugger (Windows) or standard error (other platforms).
189 bool SetFile(const wxString
& filename
);
192 Sets the debug level (default 1). The debug level is used by the wxTraceLevel
194 the WXTRACELEVEL macro to specify how detailed the trace information is; setting
195 a different level will only have an effect if trace statements in the
197 specify a value other than one.

205 Installs a function to be called at the end of wxWidgets shutdown. It will be
