Setting log level at compile time

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In my code I need to log inside loops if something bad happens. Since this
logging is executed very often I want to decide at compile time whether I
enable it or not. So that the compiler is able to remove this additional
code. I just had a look at glog and it seems that almost everything is set
up at runtime. This way the logging code is already in the binary. Is there
a way to get rid of this? I'm feeling a bit stupid. So maybe there are
other way's around this since you don't seem to have considered this problem.
The DLOG* statements go in that direction. But let's say I enabled
debugging then all these statements will be in my code despite I want only
ERRORs to be shown.

Regards

Not sure, but GOOGLE_STRIP_LOG isn't what you are looking for?

Oh yes. I think that is what I need. Just to make sure: If I use a LOG_IF 
statement
then the code for the condition is removed as well. Right? The documentation for
GOOGLE_STRIP_LOG isn't very specific in this case. It's only about getting rid 
of the
logging strings.

Ah, yes... It seems we have few code generated even with GOOGLE_STRIP_LOG. I'll 
fix 
this. Thanks!
