But of course I can replace it with new code. But what are the blessed way of debugprinting into a malloc-ed string or whatever using the C API?
Hi Basile,
if you use the latest git snapshot, you can do something similar to what is done in
interfaces/C/print_to_buffer.*
Differently from the previous version, this only uses services provided by the C interface, that is
ppl_io_asprint_*(), (yes, un-deprecated); ppl_io_wrap_string().
The latter is documented as follows:
/*! \brief Utility function for the wrapping of C strings.
\param src The source string holding the text to wrap.
\param indent_depth The indentation depth.
\param preferred_first_line_length The preferred length for the first line of text.
\param preferred_line_length The preferred length for all the lines but the first one.
\return The wrapped string in a malloc-allocated buffer. */ char* ppl_io_wrap_string(const char* src, unsigned indent_depth, unsigned preferred_first_line_length, unsigned preferred_line_length);
Please let us know how it goes. Cheers,
Roberto
