Turns out this is not "fairly easy" but actually "incredibly
difficult". We have a fallback case at
http://source.winehq.org/source/include/wine/debug.h#L133 with a macro
that returns a statement that ends in a function call, omitting the
arguments and semicolon. This allows us to do
FIXME_(channel)("message\n");. I can handle this in the other cases
(where the macro result ends in a macro that takes arguments), but I
can't see a way to create a static variable in a statement that ends
in a function call that we only execute sometimes.

winemenubuilder: disable debug output for .desktop files

[Warren Dumortier]

I just responded to my previous mail, nice to see you care about that issue!

I just want to say that nobody uses the desktop file to launch a program to
debug, i think, in response to previous messages. That would be very nice.

Is it difficult to implement? Why not simply add WINEDEBUG-all to generated
desktop files? Maybe i didn't understand the discussion...

This would add WINEDEBUG="-all" to all .desktop files. Vincent is
saying that stderr may not be lost when someone runs from a .desktop
file, e.g., that information may be captured/redirected somewhere.
