[Quantlib-dev] Tracing

[Luigi B. <lui...@gm...>]

Hi all,
	a tracing facility is of course a useful one for debugging/=20
validating calculations. However, I don't think that it should grow into a =
=20
full-fledged logging facility: users of the library should be let free to =20
choose their preferred log library and call it in their client code. The =20
tracing macros should only be used for, well, tracing calculation details =20
and code flow, and in my opinion should be kept as simple as possible.
This leads to my question: is it worthwhile to have a tracing level in the =
=20
interface? Couldn't we just dump everything (or nothing if tracing is =20
disabled?)

Later,
	Luigi

handle: you've solved the wrong problem. Work hard to improve.
