Description Simon McVittie 2013-08-21 17:27:43 UTC
While debugging a hang in empathy-accounts (which I think is in fact just  telepathy-haze suffering from <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698081>), Guillaume and I noticed that there isn't a whole lot of debug info in TpConnectionManager or tp_list_connection_managers[_async](). Also, the debug messages don't usually say which CM or protocol they're talking about, which makes them less useful than they could be.

inspect-cm example: allow inspecting all CMs

Also print a bit more information about protocols, and allow requesting
timestamps in debug output.

Shouldn't you guard this with #idef ENABLE_DEBUG ?

Yeah, I suppose so.

Actually, the answer is "no". DEBUG() unconditionally evaluates its arguments these days, because of a 2011 commit from wjt (see below).

He didn't say why in the commit message, but I suspect the answer is "so we don't have to wrap everything in #ifdef ENABLE_DEBUG to avoid unused-variable warnings".

I'm about this close --->||<--- to deleting the --disable-debug option altogether.

Author: Will Thompson <will.thompson@collabora.co.uk>

    Make DEBUG a no-op static inline with --disable-debug.

I agree. Has it ever been used?

Done in 0.99.5, FYI. I'm not going to bother with this for 0.x.
