Question

I have a set of statements for tracing across the code.

Is there any way to get rid of these set of statements before compilation in order to improve the performance?

Will the concept of precompiled headers work out in this scenario?

Thanks in advance

Usually trace is performed in a way similar to this (oversimplified here):

#ifdef DISPLAY_TRACES
#define TRACE(x) printf(x)
#else
#define TRACE(x)
#endif

Then compile with or without -DDISPLAY_TRACES depending on whether you want traces.
