## What it is
DebugView++ is a Windows application that collects, views, and filters application logs, including OutputDebugString messages, with highlighting and regular-expression filtering. It is an enhanced successor to Sysinternals DebugView.

## Use cases
- view OutputDebugString messages from my application
- filter and highlight debug log lines with regex
- capture debug logs from multiple processes on Windows
- save and search application log files
- debug UWP application output

## When to choose
- you need a modern replacement for Sysinternals DebugView on Windows
- you want regex filtering and highlighting of live debug output
- you need to capture kernel or Win32 global debug messages

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform log viewer (Windows only)
- you need actively developed new features (project is in low-maintenance mode)

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: logging, developer-tools, gui, search-engine
- domain: developer-tools, windows
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: debugview, outputdebugstring, log-viewer, log-filtering, debugging-tool, debugging
