What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A single-header C++ library providing a dbg(…) macro for quick printf-style debugging. It prints file, line, function, expression, value, and type information with colorized, pretty-printed output.

Use cases

  • quickly inspect variable values while debugging C++ code
  • print container contents with pretty formatting
  • replace printf/cout debugging with richer output
  • trace expressions inline without a debugger
  • get compiler warnings reminding to remove debug prints

When to avoid

  • you need a full interactive debugger with breakpoints
  • you want structured logging for production use
