Adding debug message

[mthread]

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.
