NAME

DESCRIPTION

The DCE_SVC_DEFINE_HANDLE macro is used to create a serviceability handle. This can be useful in a library that has no explicit initialization routine in which a call to dce_svc_register() could be added. The remaining macros can be "compiled out" of production code, or left in to aid diagnostics, depending on whether or not DCE_DEBUG (normally found in dce/dce.h) is defined.

The DCE Serviceability Macros

The serviceability macros are as follows, listed in alphabetical order:

DCE_SVC_DEBUG()

Used to generate debugging output.

DCE_SVC_DEBUG_ATLEAST()

Can be used to test the debug level of a subcomponent for a specified handle. Tests whether the debug level is at least at the specified level.

DCE_SVC_DEBUG_IS()

Can be used to test the debug level of a subcomponent for a specified handle. Tests for an exact match with the specified level.

DCE_SVC_DEFINE_HANDLE()

Registers a serviceability message table.

DCE_SVC_LOG()

Generates debugging output based on a message defined in an application's sams file.
