Logging module

Butano logging system.

It allows to print information on the console of multiple emulators.

It can be enabled or disabled by overloading the definition of BN_CFG_LOG_ENABLED.

It supports printing on only one emulator at once. The supported emulator can be changed by overloading the definition of BN_CFG_LOG_BACKEND.

Functions

void log(const istring_base& message)
Prints in one line of text the given message.

Function documentation

void log(const istring_base& message)
#include <bn_log.h>

Prints in one line of text the given message.

Define documentation

#define BN_CFG_LOG_ENABLED
#include <bn_config_log.h>

Specifies if logging is enabled or not.

#define BN_CFG_LOG_BACKEND
#include <bn_config_log.h>

Specifies the log backend to use.

Values not specified in BN_LOG_BACKEND_* macros are not allowed.

#define BN_CFG_LOG_MAX_SIZE
#include <bn_config_log.h>

Specifies the maximum number of characters that can be logged with one BN_LOG call.

#define BN_LOG(...)
#include <bn_log.h>

Prints in one line of text the representation of the given parameters.

Example:

BN_LOG("Invalid integer: ", integer);

Custom parameter types are supported by overloading bn::ostringstream::operator<<.

Example:

bn::ostringstream& operator<<(bn::ostringstream& stream, const custom_type& custom_value)
{
    stream.append("custom_type: ");
    stream.append(custom_value.data);
    return stream;
}

#define BN_LOG_BACKEND_MGBA
#include <bn_log_backend.h>

mGBA log backend.

It also works with NanoBoyAdvance and Mesen.

#define BN_LOG_BACKEND_NOCASHGBA
#include <bn_log_backend.h>

No$gba log backend.

#define BN_LOG_BACKEND_VBA
#include <bn_log_backend.h>

VisualBoyAdvance log backend.

It crashes on hardware and on other emulators!
