#ifndef REPORT_H
#define REPORT_H
/* DEBUGGING / REPORTING
*
* To enable the debug() function on all of the software, just type:
* ./configure --enable-debug
* and recompile with 'make'
*
* To enable the debug() function only in specific files:
* 1) Configure without enabling debug (that is without --enable-debug)
* 2) Edit the source file that you want to debug and put the following
* line at the top, before the #include "report.h" line:
* #define DEBUG
* 3) Then recompile with 'make'
* This way, the global DEBUG macro is off but is locally enabled in
* certains parts of the software.
*
* The reporting levels have the following meaning:
*
* 0 RPT_CRIT Critical conditions: the program stops right after
* this. Only use this if the program is actually exited
* from the current function.
* 1 RPT_ERR Error conditions: serious problem, program continues.
* Use this just before you return -1 from a function.
* 2 RPT_WARNING Warning conditions: Something that the user should
* fix, but the program can continue without a real
* problem.
* Ex: Protocol errors from a client.
* 3 RPT_NOTICE Major event in the program.
* Ex: (un)loading of driver, client (dis)connect.
* 4 RPT_INFO Minor event in the program: the activation of a
* setting, details of a loaded driver, a key
* reservation, a keypress, a screen switch.
* 5 RPT_DEBUG Insignificant event.
* Ex: What function has been called, what subpart of a
* function is being executed, what was received and sent
* over the socket, etc.
*
* Levels 4 (maybe) and 5 (certainly) should be reported using the debug
* function.
* The code that this function generates will not be in the executable when
* compiled without debugging. This way memory and CPU cycles are saved.
