Using 0.8.1, how does one turn off the verbose debugging that 0.8.1 generates
to the console? I'm talking about stuff like this:
deallocing <TargetedTouchHandler: 0x1221b0>
deallocing <FrontPageScene = 00121DB0 | Tag = -1>
deallocing <FrontPageLayer = 001215D0 | Tag = -1>
deallocing <Sprite = 00122A60 | Tag = 10>
deallocing <Sprite = 00122E20 | Tag = 20>
deallocing <Sprite = 00123210 | Tag = 30>
Project > Edit project Settings > Build > Configuration: Debug > Search for COCOS2D_DEBUG
That definition tells Cocos2d to run in debug mode. What I do, is renaming that definition to something like COCOS2D_DEBUG_ so I can easily revert it when I need it. Maybe there is another way for doing it, if it's defined somewhere else in the cocos2d code, but that's how I do it...

That's not working for me. I'm using the Xcode template provided with 0.8.1 and
I have changed COCOS2D_DEBUG=1 to COCOS2D_DEBUG=0 in the Target build settings (I do not see it in the Project build settings). Make clean, and recompile, but it's still printing debug info to the Console??
Ok, I am using my own template, not that coming from 0.8.1
In your case don't change it to COCOS2D_DEBUG=0 but rename it to e.g. _COCOS2D_DEBUG=1

Thanks dbolli - yes I understand.
In my template, the COCOS2D_DEBUG is showing up in the Target build settings as
a GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS flag, not CFLAGS. I have tried renaming it here, and
also removing it completely from Build settings, but the build still prints debug output.
This is in the stock template for 0.8.1 using XCode 3.1.4 on 10.5.8
The only way I have found to stop debug output, is to search the source for COCOS2D_DEBUG
and rename it there. The definition is found in ccMacros.h. I do not fully understand this, but it appears if COCOS2D_DEBUG is not defined (eg: renamed, removed from build settings) then it should do "CCLOG(...) do {} while (0)" which I presume is equivalent
to do nothing. But it doesn't seem to work in my case.
Changging the definition here to #ifdef __COCOS2D_DEBUG stops debug logging.
#ifdef COCOS2D_DEBUG
//#define CCLOG(s, …) NSLog((@”%s %s:%d ” s), __func__, basename(__FILE__), __LINE__, ## __VA_ARGS__);
#define CCLOG(...) NSLog(__VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define CCLOG(...) do {} while (0)
#endif

I have just checked the 0.8.2 template but there's still no COCOS2D_DEBUG defined
in the project settings, CFLAGS or otherwise. So verbose debugging is on by default,
and there's no easy way to turn it off. I think the problem is in ccMacros.h
#if COCOS2D_DEBUG
I think it should say
#ifdef COCOS2D_DEBUG

Thanks riq - it's working now. But FYI for anyone else reading the forums,
you need to go in to Target properties for 'Cocos2D libraries' and then in to the debug build and comment it out there. I was just changing it in my project name's target, but it's the library target which I had to change.
Thanks - Paul
