Adding debug message

Hi,
I am new to C++, But has good experience in C. In C I have used
macros to enable / disable debug statements in the code. For ex :

#if defined ENABLE_DEBUG
#define Printf1(arg) printf(arg)
#else
#define Printf1(arg)
#endif

int main()
{
Printf1("This is a debug statement\n");
}

By defining/not-defining ENABLE_DEBUG I can enable / disable the debug
statements.
I would like to know what is the kind of standard used in C++ to
enable / disable the debug statements(ie cout statements).

There is no standard way. But there are libraries that can spare you the
effort of reinventing the wheel. Google for them (an example is
Log4cpp:http://log4cpp.sourceforge.net/).
IIRC there was a stub of log library in Boost also (in the vault).

Version 2 of John Torjo's Boost Logging Library comes up for review in about
a week. See http://torjo.com/log2/ for more.

Hi, I have made a dll and it is working fine in the debug build (as expected) but when I run it in the release build it is working strangely. For example, the dll saves the 10 properties on the exit to a .txt file and when it get loaded again these properties are read from the text file and shown on the user interface. Dll can save the values to the text file correctly for both debug and

I am setting up handlers to log DEBUG and above to a rotating file and ERROR and above to console. But if any of my code calls a logger (e.g., logging.error("foo")) before I setup my handlers, the logging system will create a default logger that *also* emits logs, which I can't seem to get rid of. Is there a way I can suppress the creation of this default logger, or remove it when I 'm setting up my handlers? Thanks. Sample code:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
