<div class=Section1>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Hello, list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I briefly discussed with Russell Bryant why
there is a need for &#8220;if (options_debug)&#8221; check before each &#8220;ast_log(LOG_DEBUG,
&#8220; when this check can be a part of the function itself like in most of
logging frameworks and he told me that yes, it needs to be improved some day.
And ideally, check should be done at macro level to avoid expensive (?) call to
a function.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Attached quick &#8220;proof of concept&#8221;
application demonstrating the approach can be used<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>There are two things to note:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>We depend on compiler&#8217;s
support for var-arg defines. GCC does support them but I do not know what are
target compilers for Asterisk nor will you accept such a dependency or not.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>We depend on compiler&#8217;s
optimization of constant-condition ifs. ast_log macro expands to pretty big
piece of code which can be optimized to just a single line if compiler does
this type of optimization.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>It is possible to workaround item 2 above
by also providing macros like ast_log_debug, ast_log_error etc and slowly
migrating the code from generic ast_log to more specific ast_log_xxx. Besides
being a easier to optimize it is just better looking code. Better to me of
course :=) People are different&#8230;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>If item 1 is unacceptable, we will need to
move on/off check into the function code (opposed to macro)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>What do you think?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Dmitry Andrianov<o:p></o:p></span></p>
