If you look at Richard's list, you should be able to see the two
heirarchical forms - one using tokens of the form:
helper:baby_steps
helper:cache_handler
helper:debug
etc
and one using:
host/hr_device
host/hr_disk
host/hr_filesys
etc
Currently, debug tokens basically match on a prefix string,
so "-Dhost" would match any of the second set, with no differentiation
between the sub-tokens.
If you look at the discussion thread I mentioned, you'll see that
the idea we came to agree on was closer to the first form, with the
idea of "debug levels".
So
-Dhelper
would *only* turn on debug tokens that matched "helper", but not
"helper:something",
while
-Dhelper:
would match "helper" and "helper:something" (but not "helper:some:thing")
and so on.
That's the basic idea.
But one of the major tasks is to go through the existing debug statements
and come up with a suitable hierarchical debug token structure.
(Plus identifying where we really ought to have debugging statements,
but don't!)
