Description
The Debugger class provides an interface to the debugger. The presence of a debugger can be checked for, messages can be written to the debugger's log window and a break into the debugger can be enforced. The methods only work if the program is compiled in debug mode (the macro _DEBUG is defined).
Member Summary
Member Functions: enter, isAvailable, message
Member Functions
enter 
static void enter();
Breaks into the debugger, if it is available. On Windows, this is done using the DebugBreak() function. On Unix, the SIGINT signal is raised. On OpenVMS, the SS$_DEBUG signal is raised.
enter
static void enter(
const std::string & msg
);
Writes a debug message to the debugger log and breaks into it.
enter
static void enter(
const std::string & msg,
const char * file,
int line
);
Writes a debug message to the debugger log and breaks into it.
enter
static void enter(
const char * file,
int line
);
Writes a debug message to the debugger log and breaks into it.
isAvailable
static bool isAvailable();
Returns true if a debugger is available, false otherwise. On Windows, this function uses the IsDebuggerPresent() function. On Unix, this function returns true if the environment variable POCO_ENABLE_DEBUGGER is set. On OpenVMS, this function always returns true in debug, mode, false otherwise.
message
static void message(
const std::string & msg
);
Writes a message to the debugger log, if available, otherwise to standard error output.
message
static void message(
const std::string & msg,
const char * file,
int line
);
Writes a message to the debugger log, if available, otherwise to standard error output.
