I currently use the form <control_flag> and log_function( <msg_expr> )
where <control_flag> is some module variable, usually "DEBUG". I do this because it is one line, and it ensures the log_function parameters are not evaluated. *IF* runtime assertions had a switch so they have no overhead when not active, how much faster can it get? How expensive is the <control_flag> check?
