LinkedLog Xcode Plugin
LinkedLog is a Xcode plugin that includes a Xcode PCH file template that adds the macros LLog
and LLogF
. The LLog
macro will work like NSLog
but additionally prints the file name and line number of the call.
LinkedLog then parses the logs and adds links to the corresponding file and line.
