They are several ways to perform debugging in dynamic-graph depending on your needs or situation:
- Programmatically inside the entity in C++ will write inside a buffer in a different thread and output in a stream
(either std::cout or a file). It is detailed in \subpage subp_debug_rt_logger.
- Programmatically inside the entity in C++ using a member of the entities and the previous real-time mechanism.
It provides 4 levels of messags :(DEBUG,INFO, WARNING, ERROR). It is described in details here:
\subpage subp_logger
- Programmatically in C++ to avoid overhead with macros and handling level as an int: \subpage subp_dbg_trace
- If you just need to collect informations from signals (like rosbag). You can use

Despite the fact that it looks very similar to a ROS node or a CORBA/OpenRTM
server, an entity is simply a C++ object. The main idea is that this entity is
providing mostly a data-driven functionnality working at very high rate (\f$ 200
Hz\f$ or \f$ 1 kHz \f$) and should have a minimal computational time foot-print.
For this \subpage subp_signals (or ports to use a more classical terminology) are providing a time dependency between
data. To implement this, an output signal is linked with a method of the entity. The method calls input signals or use
other means to get the needed data. It might be provided by the connection with remote computers through a middleware,
or specific protocols, but in general the external data is based upon the sensor values provided by a "Device" entity.
For this reason the signal evaluations are realized through the cascade of dependencies and start from the evaluation
of an input signal of a periodic node (in general the device). This is realized inside a \b real-time thread.
To add flexibility to a node, it is possible to add command with arguments to modify the internal behavior of the
entity or get information from the entity. As a command is in general asynchronous and rare with respect to the
data-flow scheme for the signals the command is in general executed in a \b none-real-time thread.

\subsection entity_classes Entity class
Entities are implemented as C++ classes and compiled as dynamic libraries. They can be loaded and instancied
dynamically. It is therefore necessary to specify the location of their dynamical libraries. However given the time it
might take to load the library, it is not advised to do that during a control-law computation. Entity instanciation
also implies memory allocation which is also time consuming and thus not advised inside a real-time thread.

control reference values, sensor values need to be provided.

<p>The device therefore has a specific input which should contain the control vector.
This control vector is the result of a computation solving a control problem.
The entity in charge of solving this control problem is called "Solver" in the previous
figure.
In the SoT framework it is often cast as an optimization problem.
This optimization problem is build using a control "Task" (not to be confused with the
general word task). A control "Task" regulates the difference with a "Feature" computed
on the current robot state and a "Desired Feature". For instance when walking, the regulated
feature is the robot's Center-Of-Mass (CoM) position. The "Feature" is computed using a
library using the robot model and the sensor value. The entity making this computation is "Dyn".
A walking pattern generator using foot-steps position given in advance generates the desired
value for the CoM.
Note that the "Dyn" entity uses the sensor provided by the entity "Robot". </p>

<p>
From a pure computer science viewpoint we wish to avoid recomputing data such as articular Jacobians
when this is unnecessary. Therefore the data generated by an entity through signals may have two types of
dependencies: one dependency related to time and dependencies on other signals. Internally an entity
does not recompute the data if no new information is available, it is simply providing the same information
computed before. Please note that this package provides only the computational framework to realize
the data dependency and the entities. Solvers, libraries to compute mechanical quantities are provided
in different packages.

from one entity to another. There are three main types of signals,
all deriving from the common class dynamicgraph::SignalBase :
\li dynamicgraph::Signal : a "normal" signal, passing data around \b by \b value
\li dynamicgraph::SignalPtr : a signal used for efficient passing of large data, by reference (or rather, C pointers)*
\li dynamicgraph::SignalTimeDependent : a signal that enforces a time dependency between other signals,
making sure its inputs are up to date on access, using a incrementing time tick as reference.

The class \ref dynamicgraph::PoolStorage keeps track of the entities instanciated with the factory.
The entities are the graph nodes. Signals are constructed during the class instanciation, they do not live
independently from the entities. Signals are the directed edges of the graph. The pool can write a file representing
the graph of entities.

Entities can output different types of signals. To guarante real-time perforamces, signals are implemented
using C++ and mecanism which have a low time foot-print.
All signals are templated by a Time
tick type parameter (which is used in the caching of signals) - usually \c int. Signals
are also templated after the type of data they accept or provide. For example:
