HOLog

Currently this helper will just work in limited circumstances i.e. only in the iOS Simulator and outside of blocks!!!

This NSLog helper can be put into an ObjC method and than dumps the full method name including the values passed to that method.

Example

Example of using the 'HOLogPing' NSLog extension:

#import "HOLog.h"

@implementation HOLogDemoViewController

- (void)exampleMethod:(id)obj 
                   a1:(int)a1 
                   a2:(CGPoint)a2
                   a3:(double)a3 
                   a4:(BOOL)a4
{

    // In the following line happens the magic!!!
    HOLogPing

    // ... 
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {

    // ...

    // Test call
    [self exampleMethod:@"a string"
                     a1:42 
                     a2:CGPointMake(12, 21) 
                     a3:1.23
                     a4:YES
     ];
}

@end

Examples output:

  -[HOLogDemoViewController exampleMethod:@a string a1:(int)42 a2:(CGPoint){12, 21} a3:(double)1.230000 a4:(char)1]
