require 'pp' ## This module helps to debug by: ## 1. defining log functions which write data into any kind of stream ## rather than to STDOUT, and are seperated into fatal, error and normal ## messages. ## 2. by defining assertion functions which raise an AssertionError ## if the assertion is false. ## 3. a couple of other nice things such as trace or bm (benchmark) ## ## use this with: ## include Debug ## Debug.setup(...) module Debug class AssertionError < StandardError; end ## setup the debugger. optionally takes a hash like: ## Debug.setup(:name => 'foo', :level => 2) ## parameters are: ## _name_: an identifier which is written before anything ## _stream_: a writable stream like STDERR or File.open('foo', 'a') ## _level_: the verbosity level. ## 0: log nothing ## 1: log fatal errors ## 2: log all errors ## 3: log everything def self.setup(name=nil, stream=nil, level=nil) if name.is_a?
