Question

I want to remove all my debugging printf statements from my code .How can i do this without using conditional debugging by turning on/off debug statements?

Iam using printf just to check whether a particular value is coming wright or not …like below… : printf(“value read %d\n”, a);

No way you can do that, without removing them using your editor.

What you can do is:

Allen Holub recommends in his book
to use the following debug macro:

#ifdef DEBUG
#  define D(x) x
#else
#  define D(x) 
#endif

and use it like this:

D(printf("oh, hai, debug"));
