public class Dbg

extends Object

This class now combines two sets of debugging calls: Chris': Centralize the debugging print-outs, and make them more efficient when turned off at runtime. Always use if (Dbg.WHATEVER) Dbg.print(str); Then string isn't constructed if debugging is turned off

Sep's: Debugging class. Variables and Methods involved in debugging code. The variable verbosity gives a level of "loudness". The higher the value of verbosity, the more debugging statements will be printed.

verbosity
0 -- silent
1 -- prints necessary output, but no debugging statements
10 -- very loud . . . prints all debugging values

Method Detail

print

public static void print(String s)

Print the debug message to a file or stderr

Parameters:

s - The string to print

linePrint

public static void linePrint(int line,
                             String s)

close

public static void close()

setVerbosity

public static void setVerbosity(int v)

Sets the verbosity to v.

println

public static void println(int v,
                           String s)

prints string s only if the verbosity exceeds v

printToFile

public static void printToFile(String filename,
                               String message,
                               boolean append)

Prints to a file. If the file already exists, appends if append=true, and overwrites if append=false

printToFile

public static void printToFile(String filename,
                               String message)

Prints to a file. If the file does not exist, rewrites the file; does not append.
