gdb isn't a replacment for a trace package. If you remove DBUG and don't add back trace statements via another package, then it will be much more expensive to diagnose misbehavior. Debuggers are great when you know what you are looking for. They are inefficient when you don't know what to look for. If you only work on a small portion of the code, a debugger is OK. If you have to work on code throughout the server, then not having tracing is awful. And I think that anyone doing support (yes, a lot of the time, I am doing support) will agree with me.
And if you make the trace package nice enough, you might be able to get storage engines to use it. -- Mark Callaghan [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
