#LAST WOOD DEBUG MODE CODE#

I've met people who refused to use a debugger even to get a stack trace of where a piece of code crashed, instead using printf bisection to find the crashing line of code (this would take a day or more. The debugger is only a crutch if you use it like one. These are general, of course-it varies wildly with language, environment and situation-but what are some other considerations? Conversely, there's the odd bug that only crops up in a debug configuration tracking it down may be a waste of effort (though, this is often indicative of a deeper, subtler problem that is worth fixing).It may 'help' you by initializing variables or otherwise masking bugs, leading to surprises later on.(Edit) Tunnel Vision: Debugging the symptom can distract you from deducing the cause when the crash occurs long after or far from the defect.Performance overhead can make iterations slower.if your program is responsive while debugging, it will almost definitely be so in the wild Performance overhead can give you extra wiggle room, i.e.Tracing provides a nice alternative to littering your code with commented-out print statements.Starting with the obvious, takes less time to zero in on faults, exceptions and crashes.I'm quite a fan of debuggers myself (in fact, I tend to only run without if strictly necessary), but I got to thinking about the relative merits of each approach.

There's certainly something to be said for developing the skill to deduce the cause of bugs without 'direct' evidence. The price indices are calculated using quarterly wood fiber prices and estimated country/regional wood fiber consumption data.I saw a comment on another question (I forget which one) encouraging the asker to avoid testing his/her code in the debug harness unless strictly necessary, citing something to the effect of it acting as a crutch. Asia/Oceania – Australia, Indonesia, Japan and New Zealand.Europe – Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Russia, Spain and Sweden.North America - Western Canada, Eastern Canada, US Northwest and US South).These regions together account for 85-90% of the world’s wood-based pulp production capacity. The Global Wood Fiber Price Indices are derived from wood fiber prices for the pulp industry in 17 regions. Understanding the importance of measuring wood fiber price trends worldwide, WRI developed two price indices with data collection dating back to 1988. Worldwide, these costs currently vary between 45-72% of the total cash cost depending on product grade and the costs of other components such as chemicals, energy and labor. It is also the input cost that fluctuates the most over time.

The cost of wood fiber is the greatest factor in determining the competitiveness of a pulp manufacturing plant. The Global and European Sawlog Prices Indices have fluctuated substantially over the past 25 years, with the following highlights (in cubic meter under bark):

The volume-weighted European Sawlog Price Index (ESPI), established in 1999, reports average sawlog prices for the nine largest log-consuming countries in Europe.

Asia/Oceania – China, Japan and New Zealand.

Europe – Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia,įinland, Germany, Latvia, Norway, Poland, and Sweden.

North America - Western Canada, Eastern Canada, US Northwest and US South.

It reports average sawlog prices for the following regions:

The volume-weighted Global Sawlog Price Index (GSPI), established in 1Q1995, focuses on commonly used log species and grades used to manufacture construction and better grades of lumber.

WoodMarket Prices has two sawlog price indices, one price index for Europe and one global. Having access to pricing data for sawlogs by country, by continent, and globally for benchmarking purposes is crucial for determining the competitiveness of a region’s sawmilling industry. Log costs account for 65-70% of the production costs when manufacturing softwood lumber.
