CP Debug Printer

Instantly generate cerr debug print statements for any C++ variable with a single shortcut — built for competitive programming.

Usage

  1. Place cursor on any variable (or select it)
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+D
  3. A debug print line is inserted below automatically

Features

  • Works with any alias — vll, pii, vpii, or whatever you define
  • Automatically decodes using and typedef aliases
  • Supports all common CP data structures

Supported Types

Type Example Output
Scalar int, ll, double cerr << "x: " << x << "\n";
Bool bool prints true/false
String string quoted print
Pair pair<int,int>, pii {a, b}
Tuple tuple<int,int,int> {a, b, c}
Vector vector<int>, vi, vll range-for loop
2D Vector vector<vector<int>>, vvi nested loop
Vector of Pairs vector<pii>, vpii {a,b} per element
Vector of Tuples vector<tuple<...>> {a,b,c} per element
Set / Multiset set<int>, si range-for loop
Set of Pairs set<pii> {a,b} per element
Map map<int,int>, mii k->v
Map + Vector value map<int,vector<int>> k->[v1 v2 ...]
Map + Pair value map<int,pii> k->{a,b}
Map + Set value map<int,set<int>> k->{s1 s2 ...}
Nested Map map<int,map<int,int>> nested print
Stack stack<int> destructive copy loop
Queue queue<int> destructive copy loop
Priority Queue priority_queue<pii> destructive copy loop
Deque deque<int> range-for loop

Alias Support

Any alias defined with using or typedef is automatically resolved:

using ll   = long long;
using pii  = pair<int,int>;
using vpii = vector<pii>;     // chained alias — works!

vpii v = {{1,2},{3,4}};
// Ctrl+Shift+D generates:
cerr << "v: "; for(auto& [_a,_b]: v) cerr << "{" << _a << "," << _b << "} "; cerr << "\n";

Aliases defined in locally #included header files are also resolved automatically.

Requirements

C++ files only (.cpp). Activated automatically on onLanguage:cpp.
