I've got a macro named debug, which looks like this: #ifdef DEBUG #define debug(...) NSLog(__VA_ARGS__) #else #define debug(...) #endif And in the target settings for the debug build, I put this in the "other C flags": -DDEBUG And then my trace function looks like this: debug(@"%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); It prints out something like so: -[VPWindowController dealloc]:751 And I only see messages on my dev builds. I tend to do something similar. I’ve got a macro named debug, which looks like this:

#ifdef DEBUG
#define debug(…) NSLog(__VA_ARGS__)

And then my trace function looks like this:
debug(@”%s:%d”, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__);

It prints out something like so:
-[VPWindowController dealloc]:751

And I only see messages on my dev builds.
