====== Debugging ======
----
For debugging there are some very basic options already available in //potfit//:

If you compile //potfit// with the ''debug'' target, the binary will give you some additional output.

  * For every configuration the box vectors, normals and heights are written to stdout. There the number of periodic images needed is also given.
  * The different optimization algorithms give more details while they are running. For the meaning of the numbers please take a look at the source code. All additional output is enclosed in ''#ifdef DEBUG'' tags.

If you need additional output of variables or other things, you will have to do this manually in the sourcecode.

===  Profiling  ===

In the Makefile there are some options to enable profiling support in the binaries. This can be activated with the ''prof'' target.
