How to print to console when using Qt
If it is good enough to print to stderr
, you can use the following streams originally intended for debugging:
#include<QDebug>
//qInfo is qt5.5+ only.
qInfo() << "C++ Style Info Message";
qInfo( "C Style Info Message" );
qDebug() << "C++ Style Debug Message";
qDebug( "C Style Debug Message" );
qWarning() << "C++ Style Warning Message";
qWarning( "C Style Warning Message" );
qCritical() << "C++ Style Critical Error Message";
qCritical( "C Style Critical Error Message" );
// qFatal does not have a C++ style method.
qFatal( "C Style Fatal Error Message" );
Though as pointed out in the comments, bear in mind qDebug messages are removed if QT_NO_DEBUG_OUTPUT
is defined
If you need stdout you could try something like this (as Kyle Strand has pointed out):
QTextStream& qStdOut()
{
static QTextStream ts( stdout );
return ts;
}
You could then call as follows:
qStdOut() << "std out!";
I found this most useful:
#include <QTextStream>
QTextStream out(stdout);
foreach(QString x, strings)
out << x << endl;
