#Print command for debug

[magic]

I would like to have compile
time print command.

#Print bla

On release mode the code will
not be include in target code.

But I still need the old
Print command to do its
job on both release/debug mode

First there is #Print, but this is for printing preprocessor constants as far as I know.
Second DebugLog "bla" is what you want to have, if I understood it right. It only prints if you are compiling in debug mode

And third I don't use DebugLog, because for me its to much to write and I am used to PureBasics Debug "bla", so I just used:

Function Debug:Void(message:String)
    #if CONFIG="debug"
        Print(message)
    #endif
End

That is certainly not ideal and I would suggest to change the function call from DebugLog to Debug or at least provide an alias called Debug

Alias Debug = DebugLog

The #Print preprocessor is the closest the you will get to a message macro.
It can be used to output text, preprocessor values only during the parsing stage.
E.G.

#MY_PREPROCESS+="My preprocess"
#Print "#MY_PREPROCESS+=~q"+MY_PREPROCESS+"~q"
#Print "Build CONFIG is set to "+CONFIG

I think both solutions are fine depending on when you want to output stuff.

Oh this is what I want. Its already there
