Hi Tim, Charles,
I am rather looking at a generic substitution where the number of open
quotes are matched, and then add an argument to log(). IN a generic
aproach we may have a variable number of arguments, just like thwe way
printf() supports.
The strings like "module name", LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG, and "The Value of
status=" can be anything.
All these needs to be substituted in the .c files.
regards,
Srini...
