From 6e7e309c62ab584348e0fef90c8e3e48f634dba1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan Stephens Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2010 18:59:28 +0000 Subject: tipc: Finish streamlining of debugging code Completes the simplification of TIPC's debugging capabilities. By default TIPC includes no debugging code, and any debugging code added by developers that calls the dbg() and dbg_macros() is compiled out. If debugging support is enabled, TIPC prints out some additional data about its internal state when certain abnormal conditions occur, and any developer-added calls to the TIPC debug macros are compiled in.
