Core Foundation equivalent for NSLog

Question

What is the closest Core Foundation function to the functionality of NSLog?

Answer 1

CFShow() is similar, but without the prefix stuff. Or, as wbyoung says, use NSLog(). If you don’t want to use Objective-C, the following is perfectly valid (although it requires linking against Foundation.framework):

#if __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
void NSLog(CFStringRef format, ...);
void NSLogv(CFStringRef format, va_list args);
#if __cplusplus
}
#endif

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    NSLog(CFSTR("Hello, World! %u"), 42);
    return 0;
}
