Logging messages

Hi,

I would like to use wxLogWindow to display logging messages in a logging build configuration. Obviously i don't want these messages to appear to the end user in release mode. However, if i'm using wxLogDebug, the messages are displayed only in debug mode. I can't use debug mode for my tests, i need to test the release mode, but still see the log messages.

What should i do?

Thanks!

The easiest way is to put wxLogMessage in #ifdef LOGBUILD / #endif. Just define this LOGBUILD into Your program in log build.

Thanks.

Isn't there a simple way to tell wxWidgets (and not my application) not to process all the wxLogMessage messages?
(of course, i'm also interested in the performance gain, not just to have a log target that doesn't do anything...)

According to the quote in the documentation for the WxLogDebug fucntion, "The right functions for debug output. They only do something in debug mode (when the preprocessor symbol __WXDEBUG__ is defined) and expand to nothing in release mode (otherwise)." This should mean that if __WXDEBUG__ is undefined, then wxLogDebug should do nothing. However, if I try to compile without __WXDEBUG__ defined, I get undefined references to wxAssert. Techincally I can't use a "Release Mode" unless I remove all my calls to wxLogDebug (or use an ugly #ifdef for the function call, yuk). Does anyone know if this is a bug being tracked?? I spoke about my compilation problems to get the logging functions to work in this post,

and this was great! Now I can't turn the debug off!
