Print debugging statement: Difference between revisions

=={{header|Applesoft BASIC}}==

Debugging commands TRACE and NOTRACE turn on and off showing line numbers as the program runs. The LIST command can be embedded in the program to display lines of the program. The RUN command can used to start the program at a specific line number. The STOP command stops the program and displays an error message. The CLEAR and RUN commands clear all variables.

1 IF DEBUG THEN LIST 1: PRINT "TEST"

2 IF DEBUG THEN LIST 2: TRACE

4 IF DEBUG THEN LIST 4, 6: PRINT "ALPHA" : RUN 4

5 NOTRACE

C doesn't have a built-in print debugging statement. However, it can be defined by users as a macro.

 

 

#define DEBUG_INT(x) printf( #x " at line %d\nresult: %d\n\n", __LINE__, x)

add(2, 7);

return 0;

Explicit debug usually just uses DISPLAY, and usually directed at SYSERR. Compiler Directing Facility debug is supported with <code>>>D</code> directive statements. GnuCOBOL also supports full on line step tracing, controlled by both compile time switch, <code>-ftraceall</code>, and a truthy setting in a `COB_SET_TRACE` environment variable (so program step logging can be switched on and off without a recompile (for tracking down pesky production run mysteries)).

display "from " FUNCTION MODULE-ID " in " FUNCTION MODULE-SOURCE

goback.

 

That is fixed form COBOL, columns 1 through 6 ignored by the preprocessor (historical format, from the days of punch card input) with column 7 being a special indicator column, star for comments, dash for continuations, and D is supported by GnuCOBOL for Debug lines. The <code>>>D</code> form is a newer addition to the Compiler Directing Facility, and can float anywhere on a free format compile line.

Using templates and default arguments provides options for specifying a debug function.

The file and line could be included as either template arguments or function arguments.

 

void debugln(string file = __FILE__, size_t line = __LINE__, S...)(S args) {

debugWrite("Goodbye", ' ', "world", '!');

}

Delphi has a "OutputDebugString" for debug, but not give lines and filename of source.

program DebugApp;

 

writeln(Add(2, 7));

readln;

 

In next we have a workaround using a idea from '''user3989283'''[[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7214213/how-to-get-line-number-at-runtime]]. This code override the default assert function to gain access to line and file name.

Obs.: In this example default action of assert is disabled, but you can enable calling in HookAssert (at end).

 

program DebugApp;

 

 

ReleaseDebug;

Go doesn't have a built-in print debugging statement as such. Nor does it have macros.

 

Note that a label for the expression (whether it's a simple variable or not) must be passed to the 'debug' function as there is no way to deduce it otherwise.

q := &p

Here, we get debugging output only if debugging is enabled. And we're annotating each value with the name of the routine, and the line within that routine. Thus:

The '''debug''' built-in is a 0-arity filter which behaves somewhat like `tee /dev/stderr` in *ix -- that is, it prints its input as a message to '''stderr''' and also passes it along to the next filter, as illustrated by this transcript:

jq -n '"abc" | debug | length'

["DEBUG:","abc"]

=={{header|Julia}}==

Julia has native print logging type functions, including a core Logging module. In addition, there are several additional downloadable modules, such as Memento, with extended logging functionality. Julia's builtin logging has defined macros for logging levels: @error, @warn, @info, and @debug. By default, debug level statements in code are not printed unless the logging level is set to allow debug statements to print, which can be enabled by setting the JULIA_DEBUG environment variable.

Together with data functors like <code>$module</code>, <code>$pred</code>, <code>$line</code>, trace goals can be used for debugging print statements as in the following example. Together with the [https://mercurylang.org/information/doc-latest/mercury_library/require.html require] module's utilities, trace goals can be used for assert() statements or pre/post assertions.

The conditional activation is done using a “when” statement. Here is an example:

When compiling, if nothing is specified, no code is generated to display the debugging information. If we want to generate the debug statements, we have to specify <code>-d:debug</code> when compiling, for instance if the file is named “example.nim”: <code>nim c -d:debug example.nim</code>. Note that the name “debug” has been chosen as an example but maybe any valid Nim identifier not already used. This allows to use different flags according to what we want to debug.

 

If is also possible to use existing flags instead of defining new ones:

In this case, by default (debug build), the code for the statement is generated. But if we produce a release build (<code>-d:release</code> option), the debugging code will not be generated.

 

Last, but not least, Nim provides a simple and efficient log module. Using logger objects, this module allows to write log data to the console or into a file. As expected of a logging module, it provides several levels for debugging:

 

lvlAll, ## All levels active

lvlDebug, ## Debug level and above are active

lvlError, ## Error level and above are active

lvlFatal, ## Fatal level and above are active

 

These levels are mapped to the following names: "DEBUG", "DEBUG", "INFO", "NOTICE", "WARN","ERROR", "FATAL", "NONE".

 

Logging debugging data is then a simple as writing:

Pyret has the [https://www.pyret.org/docs/latest/s_spies.html <code>spy</code> expression]. The expression can print the value of an identifier, using the identifier itself as a label if it's not already given. It could also print the value of an arbitrary expression, but it needs an explicit label in this case.

 

result = x + y

Comments with the files line numbers are added here to make it easier to match up the debug output with the file. Typically you would be editing the file in an editor that provides line numbering so that wouldn't be necessary/helpful.

What is generally done in practice is to hard-code some location indicator (such as the line number itself) at which a variable's value is being obtained. The Go example code then looks like this when translated to Wren.

 

class Point {

debug.call("p", p, 32)

var l = [1, "two", 3]

Print debugging is similar to C. The _debug_ keyword conditionally compiles

code (ie the debug code isn't compiled unless debugging is turned on).

println("This is line %d of file %s compiled on %s"

.fmt(line,__FILE__,__DATE__));

ds(__LINE__); println("Debug level is ",__DEBUG__);

vm.stackTrace().println();
