Re: [Dev-C++] Debugger not working? 4.9.8.7 PLUS console under WinAPI... is it possible?

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

If all you want is to emit trace output from your program, you can use the
OutputDebugString() function in Windows.

This will send the debug text either to a debugger, or to a dedicated
debug log program, such as DebugView which may be downloaded from
www.sysinternals.com

By the way - a lot of commercial programs still have a number of debug
output that may be viewed by the DebugView program.
