Debug builds, logging into file and macros

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi,

1)    Can I distinguish between debug and release builds in the code?
2)    I am normally using a lot logging, while e.g. in C/C++ I am using a macro for them, which I disable for release – how handle such things in Lua/Corona?

Thanks

1.  Not that I’m aware of.

2.  Something like this:

local debugMode = true  -- change to false to kill the prints.   local cachePrint = print print = function(...)     if debugMode then         cachePrint(unpack(arg))     end end

Hi,

This is surely a way, but the function call remains there… even the method is empty. But okay, if that is the way in Lua I have to accept it.

Thanks a lot
