[Moving from -software to -devel] Howard Chu writes: If I remember that effort correctly, one mistake may have been to stuff everything into a global log system (which needed to know about the various modules), instead of having the modules keep track of their desired log levels and severity levels. Each module could optionally maintain its own struct with {module name, mapping of loglevel/'-d' level => severity level} or whatever, similar to what we have a global structure for now. A pointer to it would be passed as a new argument to the log macros. For that matter, slapd.conf's "loglevel" could then be database-specific. Source files which mostly log about a single module could #define some standardized macro to refer to that module's log struct too. Then a set of log macros (with the same names as the current ones of course) can use that macro as the argument for the module pointer. -- Regards, Hallvard
