CodeLite IDE

Sorry for a very basic question, but I cannot find how to see my program's output under MSW.

In Linux either xterm opens when I run the program or a degguging window opens if I am debugging. In both cases std::cout goes to a window.

But I don't get either of these in MSW and despite a googling a wide range of keywords, surprisingly nothing turns up with the answer.

Thanks for helping!

Are you writing a GUI application or console?

Eran

Sorry I should have made that clear, its a GUI

IIRC, under Windows, GUI applications are created without a console attached

If you are using wxWidgets, use wxLogMessage and set up a log window for this

So there is no CL debugging output window under MSW the same way as there is in Linux?

No, its up to your code to provide it

Eran

Thank you for taking the time to explain this.

I would like to add this as a feature request, actually it would be really nice to have a window in the IDE for both Windows and Linux where std::cout can be seen rather than a pop-up terminal (Linux) and /or having to implement a wxLogWindow (Linux and Windows).

Do you mind if I add this as a feature request?

Like I said: its up to your application to create such window , codelite can't do that for you.

On Linux all you need to see logs in CL's debugger pane is:
if it doesn't work as is on Windows see MSDN docs around ::OutputDebugString(). If your app isn't wx-based, copy the part of wxLog code you need to replicate it.

Thank you for your replies.

The problem with the following is that in MSW stdout doesn't appear to go anywhere (under Windows 8 at least).

Code: Select all

new wxLogChain(new wxLogStderr(stdout))

see MSDN docs around ::OutputDebugString()

Thank you for this tip. I tried this but also the output seems to go nowhere, even if I set debugevents as it suggests in the gdb manual.

So I think the only way is (as Eran suggested) to create a wxLogWindow.
Just a thought, but personally I would like all stdout to go to the "Output" tab of the "Output View" pane
