** [tickets:#2449] osaf: Avoid conditional compilation when possible**
**Status:** assigned

Related to ticket [#2448]. OpenSAF currently has a number of C preprocessor
macros that control conditional compilation using #ifdef in the source code.
This has a number of problems:
* It makes testing more complex - we need to create one OpenSAF build for each
possible combination of enabled/disabled macros and test each build.
* #ifdefs can confuse static code analysis tools - and humans as well.
* This can make it impossible to choose at installation time which OpenSAF RPMs
to install on the system, see ticket [#2448].
This ticket suggests that conditional compilation shall be removed when
possible. One possible exception could be an OSAF_ENABLE_DEBUG macro that can
create a separate debug build of OpenSAF. A debug build has some benefits for
testing and trouble shooting but shouldn't be installed on a production system.
