Isolating the Debug Code — Handmade Hero — Episode Guide

1:47Recap and hit a first-chance exception

2:38Investigate this exception

6:02win32_handmade.cpp: Move DebugCollation above FramerateWait and pass NewInput and &Buffer to DEBUGFrameEnd

7:30handmade.cpp: Remove DEBUGStart and DEBUGEnd

7:54handmade_debug.cpp: Call DEBUGStart and DEBUGEnd in DEBUGGameFrameEnd

11:06handmade.cpp: Introduce DEBUGGetGameAssets to enable the debug system to get the TranState->Assets out

12:37handmade_platform.h: Give DEBUG_GAME_FRAME_END the same call structure as GAME_UPDATE_AND_RENDER

13:23handmade_debug.cpp: Create a DrawBuffer for the debug system

15:00Debugger: Step into DEBUGGetState

15:32handmade_debug.cpp: Paste DEBUGGetState into DEBUGGameFrameEnd

16:50Run the game and find that we're in better shape

18:31handmade.debug.h: Consider getting rid of this header file entirely

19:52handmade.cpp: Add conditional on HANDMADE_INTERNAL to enable us to toggle the debug system

21:12build.bat: Turn off HANDMADE_INTERNAL

21:27handmade_platform.h and win32_handmade.cpp: Add conditionals on HANDMADE_INTERNAL

22:47handmade_platform: Remove HANDMADE_PROFILE in favour of HANDMADE_INTERNAL

25:05Run the game successfully

25:17build.bat: Toggle HANDMADE_INTERNAL and still run successfully

26:46Think about how to proceed

29:00handmade_debug.h: Move the contents of debug_variable_group into debug_variable_reference

30:52handmade_debug.h: Consider splitting the variables up

33:03handmade_debug.h: Rename debug_variable_ structs to debug_tree and debug_tree_entry

33:53handmade_debug.h: Introduce debug_tree_entry_group

34:41handmade_debug.h: Rewrite debug_tree

36:44handmade_debug.h: Introduce debug_tree_entry_window

37:58handmade_debug.h: Introduce debug_tree_entry_type

38:45Recap these changes

39:52handmade_debug.h and handmade_debug_variables.h: Clean up the compile errors

41:51Consider using a caching-centric system

44:41handmade_debug.h and handmade_debug_variables.h: Start to implement a caching-centric system

1:04:17Pause this temporarily and turn off HANDMADE_INTERNAL
