cvs commit: tng/source/include debug.h tng/source/lib debug.c

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

elrond,

you would do well to examine the freedce debug
system.

remember also that it's a BSD-style license (OSF 1.0)
so you can use the code.  [which will save a lot of time].


debugging options are specified at service start-time:

./rpcserverservice -d0-20.39-41.42

the debug #defines are listed in freedce/include/rpcdebug.h
and there are about 45 of them.

one of them is for IDL memory, another is for security purposes,
another is for temporary memory, another is for yacc,
another is for the BSD-style communication subsystem,
another is specifically for TCP under the BSD-style
comms sub-sys, another for UDP.

basically every sub-system under the sun in freedce has its own
debug #define number, and you specify the numbers at run-time
of which one(s) you want to view.

the DEBUG macro has one extra argument - the #define
listed in freedce/include/rpcdebug.h.

i recommended this method to andrew over eighteen months
ago.

like everything else i recommended, he rubbished it and
its usefulness to samba.

despite it having been implemented in several development
independent programming environments before and after
freedce.
