How do I dump TRACE to a file

[bulgakov]

I know there is a TRACE function/macro that will dump
the stack trace out to the output window in the debugger,
what I want to do is dump the results to a file (as I
will be running a debug build but not with the debugger).
I have chosen not to run a release build because the
TRACE function/macro doesn't work in release mode (obviously).

Thanks.

You could do it with a macro and it should work in both

#ifdef TRACE
#undef TRACE
#define TRACE(x) { CStdioFile f; f.Open("myDebugFile.txt",CFile::modeWrite|CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeNoTruncate); f.SeekToEnd(); f.WriteString(x); }

Or something along those lines. This version of trace will not do any formatting so you need to pass it a string. You can add a "\n" to the end of it for formatting purposes.

P.S. Code is untested and should most likely remain only available in debug.
