<h2>
<a NAME="Debugging"></a>Debugging Services</h2>
Execution of code for debugging can be controlled by algorithm specific
parameters or by the Zoltan key parameter <a href="../ug_html/ug_param.html#Debug Levels in Zoltan">DEBUG_LEVEL</a>.
The value of the <i>Debug_Level</i> field of the <b><a href="dev_lb_structs.html#Zoltan_Struct">Zoltan_Struct</a></b>
structure can be tested to determine whether the user desires debugging
information.&nbsp; Several constants (<b>ZOLTAN_DEBUG_*</b>) are defined in
<i>zz/zz_const.h</i>; the <i>Debug_Level</i> field should be compared to
these values so that future changes to the debugging levels can be made
easily.&nbsp; An <a href="#Debug Example">example</a> is included below.
<p>Several macros for common debugging operations are provided.&nbsp; The
macros can be used to generate function trace information, such as when
control enters or exits a function or reaches a certain point in the execution
of a function.
<blockquote><a href="#ZOLTAN_TRACE_ENTER">ZOLTAN_TRACE_ENTER</a>
<br><a href="#ZOLTAN_TRACE_EXIT">ZOLTAN_TRACE_EXIT</a>
<br><a href="#ZOLTAN_TRACE_DETAIL">ZOLTAN_TRACE_DETAIL</a></blockquote>
These macros produce output depending upon the value of the <a href="../ug_html/ug_param.html#Debug Levels in Zoltan">DEBUG_LEVEL</a>
parameter set in Zoltan by a call to <b><a href="../ug_html/ug_interface_init.html#Zoltan_Set_Param">Zoltan_Set_Param</a></b>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The macros are defined in <i>zz/zz_const.h.</i>
<p><a href="#Debug Example">Examples</a> of the use of these macros can
be found <a href="#Debug Example">below</a> and in <i>lb/lb_balance.c</i>
and <i>rcb/rcb.c.</i>
