What means "dump data"?
-
- In MSDN, it is said "TRACE0 does nothing if you have compiled a release version of your application. As with TRACE, it only dumps data to afxDump if you have compiled a debug version of your application." - What means "dump data" here? - Can you show me an example? - Regards, Maer

dump n. 1. An undigested and voluminous mass of information about a problem or the state of a system, especially one routed to the slowest available output device (compare core dump), and most especially one consisting of hex or octal runes describing the byte-by-byte state of memory, mass storage, or some file. In elder days, debugging was generally done by `groveling over' a dump (see grovel); increasing use of high-level languages and interactive debuggers has made such tedium uncommon, and the term `dump' now has a faintly archaic flavor. 2. A backup. This usage is typical only at large timesharing installations.

- Thanks markkuk pal! - I still have a question. In your reply, you mentioned "especially one routed to the slowest available output device (compare core dump)". But in MSDN it is said "dumps data to afxDump". I think the meaning of " dump" in MSDN and in your reply are different. - Is that so? Can you show me what is the meaning of "dump" in MSDN? - Regards, Maer
