This is a proposal to add a tracing facility to ICU.
An initial implementation is already in cvs, so rather than repeating it
inline in this mail, here is a link to the header with the proposed API:
http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/icu/source/common/unicode/utrace.h?rev=1.7&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
ICU tracing is intended for use by applications running in production
environments where development style debugging of problems is
impractical. The tracing capability would be present in release
versions of the application(s), and could be enabled to allow
investigating problems without requiring installation of debuggers,
alternate debug builds or other configuration changes to the failing system.
Tracing is being added at the request of some of our larger users.
As always, any questions, comments, suggestions or whatever are welcome.
