Yes, I understand why the compiler understands that this code is NOP. But I don't understand why the tracepoints' values and names are not registered by the unmodified RTE_TRACE_POINT_REGISTER(). > > > > My method should also omit the trace points themselves, with their names and > numbers, and their initialization. > > > > I haven't looked deeper into it. > > > > If your method of omitting trace is as efficient as all my ifdefs, I also > prefer your method. > > Simpler is better. > >
