Member Function Documentation

is_attached()

static bool xtd::diagnostics::debugger::is_attached ( )

static

Gets a value that indicates whether a debugger is attached to the process.

Returns

true if a debugger is attached; otherwise, false.

debug_break()

static void xtd::diagnostics::debugger::debug_break ( )

static

Signals a breakpoint to an attached debugger.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to stop the debugger at the call to write_line.

debugger_break_();
console::write_line("Hello, world.");

is_logging()

static bool xtd::diagnostics::debugger::is_logging ( )

static

Checks to see if logging is enabled by an attached debugger.

Returns

true if a debugger is attached and logging is enabled; otherwise, false.

launch()

static bool xtd::diagnostics::debugger::launch ( )

static

Launches and attaches a debugger to the process.

Returns

true if the startup is successful or if the debugger is already attached; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If a debugger is already attached, nothing happens.

Debugger launch is only supported on Windows. On Unix and macOS operating systems, the method returns true without launching a debugger.

log()

static void xtd::diagnostics::debugger::log ( int32  level, const xtd::string &  category, const xtd::string &  message  )

static

Posts a message for the attached debugger.

Parameters

level	A description of the importance of the message.
category	The category of the message.
message	The message to show.

Remarks

If there is no debugger attached, this method has no effect. The debugger might or might not report the message, depending upon its settings.

Note

The category parameter is limited to 256 characters. std::string longer than 256 characters are truncated.
