#include <CGAL/IO/Verbose_ostream.h>
The class Verbose_ostream can be used as an output stream.
The stream output operator << is defined for any type. The class Verbose_ostream stores in an internal state a stream and whether the output is active or not. If the state is active, the stream output operator << uses the internal stream to output its argument. If the state is inactive, nothing happens.
Example
The class Verbose_ostream can be conveniently used to implement for example the is_valid() member function for triangulations or other complex data structures.
