Reserve logging statements for their appropriate purposes and levels. Use debugging-level logs (sd_debug
) for development-time diagnostic information, and only use standard printing functions (sd_printf
) for critical user-facing messages or error conditions. Excessive or incorrectly leveled logging creates noise in production systems and can impact performance.
Bad example:
// Inappropriate for normal operation flow
sd_printf("Setting input buffer %d\n", index);
sd_printf("Pushing variable\n", 0);
sd_printf("realdiv: Pre variables\n", 0);
Good example:
// For diagnostic information during development
sd_debug("Setting input buffer %d\n", index);
sd_debug("Pushing variable\n");
// For error conditions that users need to see
if(ptr == nullptr)
sd_printf("ERROR: Context pointer is null!\n");
Consistent logging practices improve code readability, aid in debugging, and prevent log pollution in production environments.
