When compiling UBIFS with CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_DEBUG not set,
gcc-4.5.2 generates a slew of "warning: statement with no effect"
on references to non-void functions defined as 0.
To avoid these warnings, change appropriate definitions from
 #define dbg_xxx(a)	0
to
 #define dbg_xxx(a)	({0; })

we probably want to make these inline funcs.  otherwise we get
misbehavior if someone does something like:
    dbg_dump_index(c++);

I agree that would be a problem, but if such calls existed, we would
be dealing not with compiler warnings but with completely broken code.
I think it is bad style to have side-effects in debug functions.

Thanks,

Should these all just be:

 do {} while(0)

Stuff like:

#define dbg_debugfs_exit()

looks particularly dangerous.

never-mind, I see while the ({0;}) format is preferable.

we are dealing with broken code.  people should not have to know about
the implementation of functions in order to safely use them.

Hi, thanks for the fix, but I agree that something like

static inline int dbg_xxx(a) { return 0; }

would be cleaner. Would you mind trying that approach and sending a
patch?
