Hi,

I want to ease my debugging by implementing a stand-alone tool that
inserts trace calls (modified dbugintf calls) via a checkbox style
treeview interface of my selected unit. Checking a method inserts a
begin/end trace call pair, unchecking a method removes the trace calls.

This way I don't have to leave {$IFDEF DEBUG} code blocks in some units
to debug a call stack etc. Checking and unchecking methods must be quick
and fully reversible - using the same tool.


Just an alternative proposal:

Do something like lazlogger does.

Have a 2nd unit "TraceToolsDummy", that defines
   procedure SendMethodEnter(Atext: string); inline;
  begin end;

empty.

fpc should not generate any code for that (unless you use open array as param)

Then you can toggle by changing the unit.

You can also tell the Lavarus IDE (1.1) to display " SendMethodEnter" in a diff color (just the name, not the whole call)
