 DM> A function that, in version 1, needed maybe 10 lines, but as features 
 DM> were added, in version 5 it's now 5000 lines?  ;-)
 JK> More likely that you need a code restructuration... ;-)
Yes - but when money's involved, time often isn't.
 DM> When I'm debugging, I often need:
 
 DM> char szBuf[128];
 DM> sprintf(szBuf, "...", ...);
 DM> WinMessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP, szBuf, "function name", MB_OK, ...)
 JK> Doens't assert() work for you?
Yes - but not in debugging cases.  assert() is used to tell me I'm not
receiving what I expected.  The above is used to tell me what it is I'm not
expecting... and should be.  ;-)
... If I didn't know any better, I'd be happy right now.
