Summary:
SYMPTOMS
The OutputDebugString() function is documented incorrectly on page
4-326 of the "Microsoft Software Development Kit Reference Volume
1" for version 3.0. The "Comments" section incorrectly states that
this function is available only in the debugging version of
Windows.
RESOLUTION/STATUS
The documentation should state that OutputDebugString() messages
are displayed under both versions of Windows.
Messages that should be written only for debugging purposes should
be placed in a conditional compilation block, such as the following:
#ifdef DEBUG
OutputDebugString(lpMessage);
#endif
Microsoft has confirmed that this error occurs on page 4-326 of the
"Microsoft Software Development Kit Reference Volume 1" for version
3.0. We will post new information here when the documentation has
been corrected.
