Call a macro every time any method is called - Objective C

Question

I wrote a debug macro that prints to the console the passed-in string whenever the global kDebug flag == YES.

I need to print out the name

Answer 1

If you're looking for a method logging facility, rather than build your own, one is actually built into the Objective-C runtime.

You might want to read over the Objective-C section of Apple's Technote 2124: Technical Note TN2124: Mac OS X Debugging Magic

I would also recommend reading over Dave Dribin's blog posting about using the runtime's facility for tracing messages. You can find that here: Tracing Objective-C messages - Dave Dribin's Blog. Dave notes a logObjCMessageSend function that gets called, which you could use to customize your logging behavior. It's a little tricky to use, but Dave gives the info necessary to successfully use it.
