LinkedLog Xcode Plugin

LinkedLog is a Xcode plugin that includes a Xcode PCH file template that adds the macros LLog and LLogF. The LLog macro will work like NSLog but additionally prints the file name and line number of the call.

LinkedLog then parses the logs and adds links to the corresponding file and line.

Status

Install

1. Build the project to install the plugin. The plugin gets installed in /Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/LinkedLog.xcplugin.
2. Restart Xcode for the plugin to be activated.

Alternatively, install it using Alcatraz plugin manager.

Configuration

• In Xcode select add files to the project.
• Select the PCH File+LLog file template from the LinkedLog templates section.
• Navigate to your build settings, search for prefix and add the created file to "Prefix header"
• Replace all NSLog calls with LLog or LLogF

Usage

Whenever you want a log message, use LLog(@"string with format: %@", @"'format'"); just as NSLog. The messages will be omitted when building without DEBUG build variable. To force logs to also appear with production build configs use LLogF instead.
