Debugging Trick Using Variadic Macros in C and C++

Following you can find a very practical trick that allows you to enable/disable all prints to the screen with as little effort as possible while not dramatically increasing the overall code size to do this.

For C:  Place on the top of your code or on a header file the following:

#define ENABLE_DEBUG

#ifdef ENABLE_DEBUG
    #define XDEBUG(...) printf(__VA_ARGS__)
#else
    #define XDEBUG(...)  /**/
#endif

and then inside the code whenever you want to print some debug information do as follows:

XDEBUG("Max Weight %d, Total Trips %d\n", minMax, trips);

For C++:  Place on the top of your code or on a header file the following:

#define ENABLE_DEBUG

#ifdef ENABLE_DEBUG
    #define XDEBUG cout
#else
    #define XDEBUG if(0) cerr
#endif

and then inside the code whenever you want to print some debug information do as follows:

XDEBUG << "We got " << disks << " disks\n";

 


Ubuntu Linux: How to register machine IPs and domain name to web-server using php

First of all you will need a page the will keep record of the registrations.

To do the paste the following code in a *.php file on a php-enabled webserver:

<html>
<body>

<?php
if (isset($_GET["ip"]) && isset($_GET["name"]))
{
  echo "Current Time " . gmdate("d/m/Y H:i:s e", $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']) . " IP " . $_GET["ip"] . " Hostname " . $_GET["name"] . "!<br/>"; 
  $file=fopen("cookies.txt","a") or $file=fopen("log.txt","x");
  fwrite($file,"Time " . gmdate("d/m/Y H:i:s e", $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']) . " IP " . $_GET["ip"] . " Hostname " . $_GET["name"] . "\n" );
  fclose($file);
}
else
{
  echo "Welcome Murloc!<br />";
  echo "Following the SSH Login Log File:<br /><br />";
  $file=fopen("log.txt","r") or $file=fopen("cookies.txt","x");
  while(!feof($file))
  {
    echo fgets($file). "<br />";
  }
  fclose($file);
  echo "Your IP is ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']. "<br />Current Time " . gmdate("d/m/Y H:i:s e", $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']) . "<br /><br />";
  echo "Bye Bye Bob<br />";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

The above php script will store your IP and Hostname if you provide them on the URL along with the time that the event happened and if you do not then it will list the registered IPs.

NOTE:Not sure how safe this code is

In order to invoke it / send you IP and hostname, issue form bash the following:

IPs=`ifconfig  | grep 'inet addr:'| grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'`
wget "http://www.example.com/ip.php?ip=$IPs&name=$HOSTNAME" -o /dev/null
