Apparently we put all debug toggles in AK/Debug.h. That means to toggle a debug macro you have these choices:
- Pass a global define via a
-Dflag that affects AK/Debug.h. This requires rebuilding everything. - Locally edit AK/Debug.h to set some toggle to
true. This requires rebuilding everything AK/Debug.h, which is almost everything. - In the cpp file that has the dbgln you want to change, add a
#define DEBUG_FOObefore including any header (edit: new instructions). That turns on debugging for just that file, but it has these disadvantages:- It's a bit questionable WRT ODR
- It's non-obvious
Most DEBUG_FOO only affect a single file. This had better ergonomics with the pre AK/Debug.h design, and that old design also had much faster rebuilds.
