BAS_TRACE_INIT;

The for functions you want to trace useHere’s an example of tracing one function:

void MyFunc(){
   BAS_FUNCTION(MyFunc);
   // blah
}

For inspecting variables you can use BAS_VAR for one variable, BAS_VAR2 for two, BAS_VAR3 for three and so on:

void APPfunctionAPPmyFunction(int Number, const char* pString, int StringLength, bool Flag){
   BAS_VARFUNCTION(NumberAPPmyFunction);
   BARBAS_VAR(pStringNumber);   // print one number
   BAS_VAR2(Number, pStringFlag);
}

For hexdumps you will need to use BAS_HEX with a label, a pointer to the data and it’s length:

void APPfunction(const char* pData, int Size, const BASstring& String){  // print two variables
   BAS_TRC("This function is just for demonstration: " << Flag); 
   BAS_HEX("String Data", pDatapString, SizeStringLength);
   // do Forsome stringsstuff
we can use the data and size methods.
   BAS_HEX("String Data", String.data(), String.size()); 
}

...

}

This is what we are using:

• BAS_FUNCTION to show entry and exit from the function - the argument is the just the name supplied, see flow of calls and values of variables

• BAS_VAR, BAS_VAR2, BAS_VAR3 etc display variables in Name=Value pairs

• BAS_TRC is like a general print statement to print whatever you want.

• BAS_HEX will output a hex dump of the data given, pass in a label, pointer to the data and the length. See hexdumps.

That’s it.

I have found it extremely easy to train development teams to use tracing. It’s very straightforward.
