/** <module> Print debug messages and test assertions

This library is a replacement for  format/3 for printing debug messages.
Messages are assigned a _topic_. By   dynamically  enabling or disabling
topics the user can  select  desired   messages.  Debug  statements  are
removed when the code is compiled for optimization.

See manual for details. With XPCE, you can use the call below to start a
graphical monitoring tool.

==
?- prolog_ide(debug_monitor).
==

Using the predicate assertion/1 you  can   make  assumptions  about your
program explicit, trapping the debugger if the condition does not hold.

%
%	Examine debug topics. The form debugging(+Topic)  may be used to
%	perform more complex debugging tasks.   A typical usage skeleton
%	is:
%
%	  ==
%		(   debugging(mytopic)
%		->  <perform debugging actions>
%		;   true
%		),
%		...
%	  ==
%
%	The other two calls are intended to examine existing and enabled
%	debugging tokens and are typically not used in user programs.

	debugging(Topic, true, _To).

	debugging(Topic, Bool, _To).

%%	debug(+Topic) is det.
%%	nodebug(+Topic) is det.
%
%	Add/remove a topic from being   printed.  nodebug(_) removes all
%	topics. Gives a warning if the topic is not defined unless it is
%	used from a directive. The latter allows placing debug topics at
%	the start of a (load-)file without warnings.
%
%	For debug/1, Topic can be  a  term   Topic  >  Out, where Out is
%	either a stream or  stream-alias  or   a  filename  (atom). This
%	redirects debug information on this topic to the given output.

%
%	Specify additional context for debug messages.   What  is one of
%	+Context or -Context, and Context is  one of =thread=, =time= or
%	time(Format),  where  Format  is    a  format specification  for

%	@-command.   Output   is   first    handed     to    the    hook
%	prolog:debug_print_hook/3.  If  this  fails,    Format+Args   is
%	translated  to  text   using    the   message-translation   (see
%	print_message/2) for the  term  debug(Format,   Args)  and  then
%	printed to every matching destination   (controlled  by debug/1)
%	using print_message_lines/3.
