Console, stdout and stderr

[hailstone]

* hide console on Windows, stdout and stderr redirected to stdout.txt and stderr.txt

Running multiple instances of GAE with separate data directories for each would be ok but I often run multiple instances with the same data directory. I'm thinking this might cause problems if they're both trying to write to the same file. I haven't tested anything though.

how about,

Code: [Select]

#if _GAE_DEBUG_EDITION_ || !defined(NDEBUG)
#   define MAIN_FUNCTION(X) /*the old code, console + no redirect */
#else
#   define MAIN_FUNCTION(X) /*the new code, no console + std out/err redirect */
#endif

Sufficient ?

Yes, this should work. Thanks.

Hey guys you could snag some code from mega-glest to do this. I added some cross platform code that kinda autodetects if one instance of MG has debug.log locked and if so the next instance will create a different logfile. You can check out util.cpp in the method:

SystemFlags::OutputDebug() and its related code to see how I did it.

Might be useful for other stuff to, anyways just a thought

SystemFlags::OutputDebug() ...

Might be useful for other stuff to, anyways just a thought

Network logging goes to client or server specific logs already, that's generally good enough for our purposes, so I'll leave it ... if someone else wants to snag it...

For the SystemFlags::OutputDebug() code spam, no thanks  I'll stick with my trusty old debugger   On the more positive side, you've inspired me to add a _TRACE_FUNCTION() macro [conditionally compiled, of course...]
