virtual void | Dump (iGraphics3D *g3d)=0
| Do a graphical dump of the current state of this object.
virtual csPtr< iString > | Dump ()=0
| Do a text dump of the current state of this object.
virtual int | GetSupportedTests () const =0
| Return a bit field indicating what types of functions this specific unit test implementation supports.
virtual csPtr< iString > | StateTest ()=0

## Member Function Documentation

virtual csTicks iDebugHelper::Benchmark | ( | int | num_iterations | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Perform a benchmark. This function will return a number indicating how long the benchmark lasted in milliseconds. Implemented in csKDTree, csGeomDebugHelper, csTiledCoverageBuffer, and csGraphics2D.

virtual bool iDebugHelper::DebugCommand | ( | const char * | cmd | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Perform a debug command as defined by the module itself. Returns 'false' if the command was not recognized. Implemented in csKDTree, csGeomDebugHelper, csTiledCoverageBuffer, csGraphics2D, and csGraphics2DGLCommon.

virtual void iDebugHelper::Dump | ( | iGraphics3D * | g3d | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Do a graphical dump of the current state of this object. Implemented in csKDTree, csGeomDebugHelper, csTiledCoverageBuffer, and csGraphics2D.

virtual csPtr<iString> iDebugHelper::Dump | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Do a text dump of the current state of this object. Returns 0 if not supported or else a string which you should DecRef() after use. Implemented in csKDTree, csGeomDebugHelper, csTiledCoverageBuffer, and csGraphics2D.

virtual int iDebugHelper::GetSupportedTests | ( |  | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Return a bit field indicating what types of functions this specific unit test implementation supports.

This will return a combination of the CS_DBGHELP_... flags:

- CS_DBGHELP_UNITTEST
- CS_DBGHELP_BENCHMARK
- CS_DBGHELP_TXTDUMP
- CS_DBGHELP_GFXDUMP
- CS_DBGHELP_STATETEST

Implemented in csKDTree, csGeomDebugHelper, csTiledCoverageBuffer, and csGraphics2D.

virtual csPtr<iString> iDebugHelper::StateTest | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Perform a state test. This function will test if the current state of the object is ok. It will return 0 if it is ok. Otherwise an iString is returned containing some information about the errors. DecRef() this returned string after using it. Implemented in csKDTree, csGeomDebugHelper, csTiledCoverageBuffer, and csGraphics2D.

virtual csPtr<iString> iDebugHelper::UnitTest | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Perform a unit test. This function will try to test as much as possible of the given module. This function returns 0 if the test succeeded. Otherwise an iString is returned containing some information about the errors. DecRef() this returned string after using it. Implemented in csKDTree, csGeomDebugHelper, csTiledCoverageBuffer, and csGraphics2D.
