    Hi,

    I just had a look at the define of LWIP_DEBUGF. I wonder whats the
    use of the do {} while(0) statement. Its contens is executed one
    time, so the loop can be omitted, isn't it?

    Gustl

    #define LWIP_DEBUGF(debug,x) do { \
     if ( \
       ((debug) & LWIP_DBG_ON) && \
       ((debug) & LWIP_DBG_TYPES_ON) && \
       ((s16_t)((debug) & LWIP_DBG_MASK_LEVEL) >= LWIP_DBG_MIN_LEVEL)) { \
       LWIP_PLATFORM_DIAG(x); \
       if ((debug) & LWIP_DBG_HALT) { \
         while(1); \
       } \
     } \
    } while(0)


In order to insert all those lines in a #define you have to start it with something "do{" uses the least chars, and the compiler probably edits it out.
In a non-debug scenario the line would just be:
#define LWIP_DEBUGF(debug,x)


I think simple brackets {} would do
