| Summary | 0001515: more sensible debug output in logs | ||||
| Description | In the logs in 0.8 theres often lines like: INFO: Message of type 36 not understood: no handler registered or similar. It would be cool if those "Message of type 36" could read "Message of type 'GNUNET_CS_PROTO_STATS_GET_STATISTICS' (36) " instead, wherever they occur. all it would need is a function for the debug output that maps the number to descriptive strings (which might as well be identical to their macro names) | ||||

Here is the problem: most of the time, we hope that these messages will only occur if the running version of gnunetd is older and hence does not know that message type yet. In that case, we cannot print a nice string for the message either because when the specific version of GNUnet was compiled, that message type was not even defined yet. Also, I don't know how this would make things easier for end-users --- even when it works, it replaces one not-immediately-obvious error message with another one. |
