[pacman-dev] Does anyone use ALPM_LOG_FUNC?
It isn't even enabled in non-debug builds, so this seems like a not-so-useful feature as a debugger and/or a few printf() calls will help you do anything this can, and will be a lot less crazy. If there are no objections I'd like to kill it. The motivation for this change will be shared soon as well. -Dan

I don't use it at all in my project, so I have no objections. Though I think you might be asking this of the pacman devs.

I've not found myself in a situation where I could have needed something like this without also wanting features from gdb. +1 for killing it. d

I agree to get rid of it. Half the functions do not have it in use anyway so gdp/printf usage is usually required to track down any issue. Allan
