#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.
