output for debugging
Author
ok in C++, using directX, how do you output easily for use in debugging? The only way I know how to output anything is rly complex and currently is what Im having a bug with. iostream doesnt work for me for some reason, but Im guessing its because of directX, cause it works in other programs I make. I just need something simple like cout << "blah";
You could create a console window if you want real time data and output to that. Or create a logging class. For the console stuff see:

I have both, works well. I log for major errors and use console for monitoring data to see why stuff doesn't work correctly.

Try the DXTrace function as well as the DXTRACE_ERR, DXTRACE_ERR_MSGBOX, and DXTRACE_MSG macros. They're all documented in the SDK docs.
If you want a non-DX way of doing things, use OutputDebugString to dump stuff to the debug spew.
