NSLog Behavior

I have always been one to be in control of my code but today I discovered, by accident the FB “Debug” showing “NSLog” so out of curiosity I selected it, much to my dismay.

For countless years since NSLog because available to us FB users I have used code something like this below. Many years ago I had asked Bernie if he would put a flag in NSLog so we could test, at any time or place in our code whether or not NSLog had been included in our application. He thought it would do no harm and he added “_NSLog” so we could test for it.

Below is just one example of how I have used the NSLog flag that Bernie installed.

#if def _NSLog

FontRef font = fn FontWithName( @"Helvetica", 12.0 )

NSLogSetFont( font )

NSLogSetTitle( @"NSLog Window" )

NSLog( @"FB Runtime version: %@", CustomFBVersionStr )

NSLog( @"FB Project version: %@, %@", CustomVersionStr, CustomBuildStr )

NSLog( @"FB Project name : %@", CustomProjectNameStr )

NSLog( @"FB Project author : %@", CustomAuthorStr )

NSLog( @"Welcome to NSLog : v%@", NSLogVers)

NSLog( @"-----------------------------------------")

#endif

Through my code I have these NSLog “#if def _NSLog/#endif statements that allow me to selectively turn On/Off log statement but simply including or commenting out the NSLog include statement.

I also use the following special flags in certain places.

#if def _NSLog

_ShowLogs = 1

_ShowCodeLogs = 1

#endif

This allows me to have complete control of NSLog statements that also may appear in my code files.
