Hello,

We are happy to announce the first beta release of the new SmartInspect Delphi Plugin. This plugin allows you to easily add Enter/LeaveMethod calls to your Delphi source code by automatically instrumenting selected methods and functions. More about the plugin on our blog:

Hello,

Are you planning to create similar plugin for Eclipse? It also would be very useful to be able to create enter/leave automatically.

Hello Piotr,

we are currently working on a similar Visual Studio plugin and are also looking into developing a Java IDE plugin. When/if we release a plugin for Java, it will very likely be for Eclipse.

By the way, have you looked into AOP (Aspect-Oriented Programming) for instrumenting enter/leaveMethod calls? I think especially for Java there are good frameworks out there. This is also something we want to look into soon.

Yes, AOP is a perfect framework to put enter/leave logging into a method interceptor.
By the way, it would be also good to have also in Delphi. I found a package called MeAOP which provides something similar to AOP. However, I haven't tested it yet.

best regards
Piotr Rezmer

I have another idea. It would be useful to create automatically by the plugin a line right after .enterMethod(). That line could contain something like this:

logDebug( Format"method parameters:. myParam1:%s, myParam2: %s" ,
[myParam1,myParam2] ));
