PureBasic Forums - English

Hi to everyone,

after spending hours struggling to debug DLL's, I've decided to create a small tool to trace program code.
It is a command line program to automatically add debug output code to PB souces.
Written in PureBasic 4.31 (x86) -
Code and binary are provided FREEWARE to this wonderfull comunity.
Use and modify at YOUR OWN WISH and RISK .

Run Tracer /h for help file (program has tons of parameters)

Sample code is provided. In addition an include file is provided with Timer functions, usefull for code profiling.

Still under construction. Feel free to report bugs, suggestions and critics.

Regards,
Somic

Hi Mistrel,

thank you for your words.
I've learned a lot from this forum (not only code) and I hope to give something back.

I checked the page and all the links seem OK.
Also the picture is properly shown in my browser.

However, I've made a small change to the property of the page in the file and added a link to it. Pls try it and let me know if it doesn't work.

Rgds,

Yes, the image works now. Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

I've made some development of the tool.

Hera is a summary of the changes:
- Recursively manage IncludeFile and InlcudePath (all renamed to _$_FileName.ext)
- Added File Properties
- Incorporated TracerAux.pbi (no need of external file)
- Added some command line parameters (SameDestFolder, AddRunInfo, ScanIncludeFiles)
- Added TestCompile command line parameter (to test outputcode after Tracing)
- Added various source code Directives
- Modified behaviour with some PB keywords (Select/case, Loops instructions)
- Fixed some bugs

Hope you will find it usefull.

Let me have you comments and bugs at your wish.
