 [Wang, Yipeng] I assume this is for the convenience for debug. E.g. if the 
unit test failed,
developer can set the macro and print more information, but by default the code 
is not used.

A quick grep I found  the test_timer_racecond and efd unit test has similar 
macros. But could anyone
let me know what is the best coding practice for such purpose in unit test?

I also wonder what compilation error the original code causes as Thomas 
indicated.
