Re: gtk win32 app without console

[Todd Fisher <taf2 lehigh edu>]

Felix,
	I use the following in my win32/gtk+ programs.  In debug mode I 
like to see all the output from the console, but when i compile for release
I don't like to see all the output from the console.  So, here's what I usually
do assuming you're compiling with visual C, which includes /DNDEBUG for release
and /DDEBUG for debug:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>


#ifdef NDEBUG

#ifdef _WIN32
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h> // included for WinMain
#endif

static void nullout( const char *str )
{ // might want to save these logs to a file
}
static void logfunc( const char *dom,
                    GLogLevelFlags log_level,
                    const gchar *message,
                    gpointer user_data)
{ // might want to save these logs to a file
}
#endif
                                                                                                                                                             
static void set_up_logger()
{
                                                                                                                                                             
#ifdef NDEBUG
// we don't want the console appearing on us in release mode
 g_set_print_handler( nullout );
 g_set_printerr_handler( nullout );
                                                                                                                                                             
 g_log_set_handler( NULL, (GLogLevelFlags)(
   G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK |
   G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
   G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION ), logfunc, NULL );
#endif
                                                                                                                                                             
}

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
// normal gtk+ stuff goes here
}

#ifdef _WIN32
#ifdef NDEBUG
int APIENTRY WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
 return main( __argc, __argv );
}
#endif
#endif
