Detailed Description

Helper class used to control the amount of output. All datamembers and functions are static, so you can use them everywhere using 'StMuDebugxxxxx()` So far I was using 3 debug levels: 1 : typical used for io that is generated once, e.g. in the constructor or init function 2 : typical used for io that is generated repeatedly, but in a moderate amount, e.g. printing the event number in an event loop 3 : typical used for io that is generated very frequently, e.g. printing pT when looping over all tracks 0 or negative debug levels means debug output switched off

You can use the debug level as: if ( StMuDebug::level()>2 ) { ... } However you will also find macros 'DEBUGMESSAGE(<string>)` or `IFDEBUG(<cmd>)` which I frequently use to automatically print the name of actual scope
