Description
PMPrintf is a tool that lets you output control messages etc. from PM programs and as such used for debugging purposes. There is an old IBM EWS ("Employee Written Software") version of that tool and a more "recent" (1996) version by Dennis Bareis. The latest version with a few minor changes was build by Andreas Buchinger in March 2009.
The program to be debugged writes output to a new function pmprintf() that is used much like the standard printf() function, but sends its output to a pipe. The PMPrintf program reads that pipe, displays the messages and/or logs them to a disk file.
If using the IBM Open Class Library you can also use the ITRACE... macros defined there to generate output that can be caught and handled by PMPrintf.
