Version History and ToDo List

•	Now properly saves time/date stamps by default in output.

•

By default if a relative filename is specified for debug output (-dbo), it will be created in the application directory. HOWEVER with windows vista/win7 this has become illegal/problematic. JrDebug will now attempt to use the AppData directory (e.g. Users\Documents and Settings\AppData\JrDebug\Exename) by default on vista/win7 in these cases. You can specify ;info along with the -dbo to have the directory used output;

•	Added debug directive to disable all windows-specific code, see Application Switch Files and Compile Flags.

•	[bugfix] due to an ambiguous matching of function definitions, dbprintf could result in wrong passing of arguments (only happened with 2 args passed to it, one int and one char*), which could cause assertion fault message.

•	[minor bugfix] debug messages sent to system were sometimes being split onto 2 lines (thanks ewemoa)

•	[minor feature] added option that can be specified with plain text outputters (including system output) to not show the "MessageType:" prefix on messages.

•	[minor bugfix] Fixed some deprecated compiler warnings generated by the latest gcc. (thanks Gothic).

•	[minor bugfix] added string.h and stdlib.h to compiled-in headers needed to compile on latest gcc (thanks Gothic).

•	[feature] added some documentation about using under *nix build system (thanks Gothic).

•	[minor feature] added code to add an AnsiString streaming helper for C++ Builder users (nothing extra for users to do, you can now stream AnsiString objects; define JrDebugDIRECTIVE_DontAddAnsiStringStreaming to disable its creation).

•	[minor feature] put -a at the end of a log output filename to signify it should be opened in append mode (otherwise it will be overwritten).

•	bugfix -- jrdebug_notcompiled_macros.h had a missing #define

•	added fflush() after each file line output -- ensures file output is always up to date

•	re-ordered this changelog to put more recent stuff at top.

•	[minor bugfix] quoted commandline arguments were not being properly terminated in some cases [thanks Rob/walkerr]

•	minor changes to help file

•	[minor bugfix] in jrdebug_commandline.h there was a harmless but improper string comparison that led to compiler warning.

•	[minor bugfix] uninitialized variable warnings in jrdebug_commandline.h

•	added bugfix that was preventing stdout of errors with c++ builder compilation

•	added separate Readme_CommandlineArgs.txt to show how to call apps using commandline args.

•	bugfix;added #ifdef WIN32 blocks around some windows-specific console redirection code added in last version

•	important fix to nested if..else statements calling dbprintf or debugstreams

•	added msvc compiler switch to disable annoying pointer truncation warning in the jrdebug_output.h console creation code

•	modified commandline parse command to take &argc instead of (ref)argc, and changed to ParseCommandlineArgc / ParseCommandlineStr macros

•	painfully added 3 dif __func__, __FUNC__, __FUNCTION__ macros to properly pick up function name on all compilers

•	added enable and disable macros, esp. for unit tests which want to fail

•	added ifdebug macro

•	added default file extensions, and ability to use strftime formats in filenames, and use $### for unique numbered files

•	added flag to enable a commandline warning function for use when jrdebug is compiled out

•	added dberror func and debugerr stream for easoer error reporting w/o specifying JrdType

•	added code to 'touch' unused arguments and other tweaks to prevent compiler warnings

•	major changes in output, commandline, block handling...

•	split jrdebug.h into a set of files for better clarity

•	completely revamping debug blocks / activities

•	activities no longer take a separate parameter true/false for whether to announce, just use * to mean DONT announce

•	documentation fixes

•	adding #defines for user code blocks and help on when to use

•	tweaked some compiled-out tests of code size, more to test

•	improved dbtest exception throwing

•	improved help file

•	added info option to debug functions

•	added dbtest and dbtestex macro similar to dbverify and dbassert

•	fixed test function registration bug (only first and last funcs were registered)

•	test functions can now be registered from within code

•	fixed a bug in unit testing code that was causing reseting of message indices

•	better reporting of unit test announcement locations

•	a significant bug was fixed that caused dbprintf strings to be multiply evaluated for printf-style arg replacement, which could could access violations and bad behavior (thanks, TU).

•	adding testing functionality

•	added debugblocks and added it to tricks section.

•	added a macro to enclose a function with debugblock notices around it, ie JrDebugEnclose(CallMyFunc())

•	changed jrdebug_main.h file to jrdebug_main.cpp and changed help to indicate this better reflection of the fact that this file contains global declarations that should only be performed once.

•	added more demos in distribution and in help file.

•	added support to automatically report the time taken to perform hierarchical activities.

•	fixed bug in reporting hierarchical activity reporting.

•	fixed bug in documentaiton and sample of dbthrow exception handling.

•	fixed option in jrdebug_switch.h for automatically disabling in release mode.

•	added better instructions to the demo files.

•	added more options to commandline grabber.

•	added icon column to debug monitor viewer.

•	added optional callback class to JrDebugLogger.

•	added more links to Related Tools.

•	expanded maximum size of messages stored in viewer tool database (3000 bytes long).

•	added help page describing how to create custom columns.

•	added #include <cstddef> for size_t, some compilers needed it

•	fixed use of sprintf vs. _snprintf

•	added project files for relo ide

•	added -dbc commandline for console output and -dbb for brief mode output

•	added announce parameter to SetActivity,PushActivity,PopActivity

•	trims trailing \n from debug lines

•	limited length of activities to prevent recursive explosions.

•	added argv list to announcement

•	added fix for vc6 lack of __func__

•	fixed ostringstream error on vc6

•	added namespace jrdebug (but added a using jrdebug; to end of jdebug.h by default)

•	added support for stream style debug logging

•	added ctrl+c copy of selected records to debug log monitor gui tool

•	added brief eventstring property to bcb component

•	added GenerateTestData to bcb component

•	fixed bug that caused crash on compilers which use unsigned size_t

•	when specifying a subtype with maintype of JrdCustom will use only subtype (rather than append it)

•	added better explanations to demo source code

•	added replacement of \r and \n to avoid line splitting

•	added JrDebugThrow macro and helper functions for debugging exceptions

•	added JrdAlarm message type and alarm filter levels which trigger windows messageboxes

•	added a function JrDebug::Announce() to send a log entry announcing jrdebug

•	added fix for __func__ under gcc, and compatibility macro

•	dramatically improved speed/responsiveness of Grid
