The Debugger library works as follows:
|
|
|
|
User View:
|
|
|
|
For the example, your component is Comp.
|
|
|
|
In your component's header file, put lines such as:
|
|
|
|
#include <dsysdbg.h>
|
|
DECLARE_DEBUG2(Comp);
|
|
#if DBG
|
|
#define DebugLog(x) CompDebugPrint x
|
|
#else
|
|
#define DebugLog(x)
|
|
#endif
|
|
|
|
#define TRACE_STUFF 0x00000008
|
|
|
|
The DECLARE macro sets up a prototype for a function called CompDebugOut.
|
|
This function is a wrapper to a function in the library, called _DebugOut.
|
|
It also declares a variable called CompInfoLevel, which is treated as a
|
|
bitmask for different things to report on. Finally, it declares a
|
|
pointer that is used by the debug library called CompControlBlock.
|
|
|
|
In *one* file in your component, put in something like this:
|
|
|
|
DEFINE_DEBUG2(Comp);
|
|
|
|
DEBUG_KEY MyDebugKeys[] = { {DEB_ERROR, "Error"},
|
|
{DEB_WARN, "Warning"},
|
|
{DEB_TRACE, "Trace"},
|
|
{TRACE_STUFF, "Stuff"},
|
|
{0, NULL }
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
The keys here are pairs of (bitmask, text), and are used when determining
|
|
what flags are set, and what to display on a debug output. This also defines
|
|
the CompDebugOut function, and the CompInfoLevel variable. Then, when you
|
|
are initializing, do this:
|
|
|
|
main/DllMain:
|
|
|
|
#if DBG
|
|
CompInitDebug( MyDebugKeys );
|
|
#endif
|
|
|
|
This will determine which flags have been set in the win.ini file, and
|
|
update the info level mask accordingly. It will also link up with the other
|
|
dsysdbg components in the process so that they share certain global flags.
|
|
|
|
Now, whenever you are in the middle of something interesting, you can make this
|
|
call:
|
|
|
|
DebugLog((TRACE_STUFF, "Wow, I got this status back! %x\n", Status));
|
|
|
|
This will only be present on debug builds, and is filtered by the common code
|
|
in the dsysdbg library.
|
|
|
|
Common Flags:
|
|
|
|
These flags are specified on the DsysDebug section (see below).
|
|
|
|
NoDebugger No Debug I/O, unless we are running in ntsd. Thus, no output
|
|
is sent to the kernel debugger, unless you have started NTSD
|
|
on the process.
|
|
|
|
TimeStamp Add a time/date stamp to every message.
|
|
|
|
DebuggerOk [Used internally] Means a debugger has been started on this
|
|
process.
|
|
|
|
Logfile[:path] Echo all output to a log file. A log file is created either
|
|
as the specified path, or as executable_name.LOG.
|
|
|
|
AutoDebug Automatically start up in the debugger. Not supported yet.
|
|
|
|
UseKD Use the kernel debugger (-d option) when starting the debugger
|
|
for AutoDebug or Asserts.
|
|
|
|
HeapCheck Does HeapValidate() on every call to _DebugOut.
|
|
|
|
MultiThread Enabled synchronization around the debug header. Not used
|
|
by default.
|
|
|
|
DisableAssert Disables all dsys asserts
|
|
|
|
NoPrompts Automatically start the debugger on assert, as opposed to
|
|
prompting on the kernel debugger.

A shared memory segment is created, and is accessed through the DbgpHeader
|
|
variable in the library. This segment has a header, and one or more debug
|
|
modules, arranged in a chain. Each module has two parts, a bunch of fields,
|
|
and a string table. The string table is each flag description, and the fields
|
|
are all described in debugp.h
|
|
|
|
As each module that has separate debugging initializes, a debug module is
|
|
allocated from the shared memory. The strings are loaded into the string
|
|
table, and the flags are calculated as follows (for app SAMPLE.EXE, with
|
|
modules DSYS and Sec):
|
|
|
|
First, during shared memory init, we look in win.ini for a section
|
|
|
|
[DsysDebug]
|
|
SAMPLE=Flag1,Flag2,Flag3
|
|
DebugFlags=Flag1,Flag2, Flag3
|
|
|
|
If they exist, they are or'd together. These are the DSYS Debug Flags, which
|
|
control output (to a logfile, for example), or heap checking or whatever.
|
|
|
|
Then, as Sec and DSYS are initialized, they look in win.ini for a section
|
|
like:
|
|
|
|
[Sec]
|
|
DebugFlags=ModFlag1, ModFlag2
|
|
SAMPLE=ModFlag1, ModFlag2
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
[DsysDebug]
|
|
Sec=ModFlag1, ModFlag2
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
[DSYS]
|
|
DebugFlags=ModFlagX, ModFlagY
|
|
SAMPLE=ModFlagX, ModFlagY
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
[DsysDebug]
|
|
Dsys=ModFlagX, ModFlagY
|
|
|
|
|
|
This gives several orders of granularity, allowing you to specify flags for
|
|
whenever your module is loaded, or only for a specific executable.
