[[Property:title|Using debug clauses]]
[[Property:weight|5]]
[[Property:uuid|78e0273d-525e-a338-dfe4-d5fc27cd06d3]]
Eiffel provides ways to add debug code to features to help during their debugging. You may think of it as the well-known C construct: <code></code>
<code lang=c>#ifdef MY_DEBUG_FLAG/* Debug code is here */ #endif</code>
The corresponding construct in Eiffel is provided by the debug keyword. It is possible to wrap code inside a debug clause like this:
<code></code>
<code>
debug("MY_DEBUG_FLAG")
-- Debug code is here.
end</code>
It is then possible to enable or disable debug clauses globally.
To modify the debug clauses status:
* Open the [[Debug Options|Project Settings]] dialog.
* In the '''Debug''' section, you can enable/disable the debug clauses.
* Click '''OK'''.
* You must [[Generating executables|recompile]] your project for the changes to take effect.
{{tip|Debug clauses make it easy to remove all debug messages when finalizing a system. }}
