About:
dbg-macro is a header-only C++ library that provides a dbg(…) macro for easy debugging. It prints the source code location, variable name, and value of any expression to stderr, supporting various types including containers and custom objects. The macro is non-intrusive, requires no setup, and automatically disables itself in release builds.

Key Features:

Header-only, no dependencies
Pretty-printing for STL containers and custom types
Automatic build detection (disabled in NDEBUG)
Cross-platform support (C++11 and later)

Use Cases:

Quick debugging without a debugger
Logging complex data structures during development
Educational code demonstrations

Alternatives:

Boost.Hana – Heavyweight metaprogramming library with debugging utilities
fmt – Formatting library, requires explicit print calls
