The problem with dead code is that it's often forgotten when other changes are made, and then it doesn't even compile or work anymore. I'd be happier if this was dependent on some debug static bool instead, ala: static bool zbd_debug; And then have check_swd() do if (!zbd_debug) return; instead of hiding everything behind an #if 0. -- Jens Axboe
