Debug/Trace Output Alternative Test / 3-20-2013

(I) Simple Example -- Phil's preferred vernacular:

Source Code:

static const char* mname ("LoadSaveMgr::doSaveModelFile");
... 
std::cout << mname << " " << menuCommandStr (cmd) << std::endl;

Output:

LoadSaveMgr::doSaveModelFile SAVE_MODEL_FILE

(I) Simple Example -- Possible Qt Alternative (with Qt 4.8.4):

Source Code:

std::cout << Q_FUNC_INFO << " " << menuCommandStr (cmd) << std::endl;

Output:

void __cdecl LoadSaveMgr::doSaveModelFile(int,const class QString *) SAVE_MODEL_FILE

(II) More Complex Example -- Phil's preferred vernacular:

Source Code:

static const char* mname ("LoadSaveMgr::doSaveModelFile");
... 
std::cout << mname << " " << menuCommandStr (cmd)
          << "; " << (modelFileLoaded ? "MODEL" : "no model")
          << "; " << qPrintable (curModelName)
          << std::endl;

Output:

LoadSaveMgr::doSaveModelFile SAVE_MODEL_FILE; no model; RiverWare Workspace

(II) More Complex Example -- Possible Qt Alternative (with Qt 4.8.4):

Source Code:

std::cout << Q_FUNC_INFO << " " << menuCommandStr (cmd) 
          << "; " << (modelFileLoaded ? "MODEL" : "no model")
          << "; " << qPrintable (curModelName)
          << std::endl;

Output:

void __cdecl LoadSaveMgr::doSaveModelFile(int,const class QString *) SAVE_MODEL_FILE; no model; RiverWare Workspace
