Moving standard output when loading Garfield libraries to debug output

Garfield++
1

Plz, could be the output lines 50:52

  if (!path.empty()) {
    std::cout << "Heed:\n    Database path: " << path << "\n";
  }

at file

be redirected to a debug output or just removed? Not interested to see that each time I load Garfield libraries.

Thanks!

@hschindl will take care of this

Sure, I’ll look into it. As a quick fix, can you just comment out this line?

Sure, I am commenting out that line on my local Garfield++ compilation. However, any users compiling and installing our libraries against Garfield++ will see those lines.

I also have outputs when using MediumMagboltz::LoadGasFile Garfield routines.

Those output lines are found at MediumGas.cc. Perhaps they could be encapsulated at a m_info flag that is not enabled by default. Or that could be defined at compilation stage.

Thanks for understanding!
