Absolutely! Maybe as a newbie to the list I'm out of line suggesting this, but I took a quick look at the "Setup" file and it might be beneficial to implement a different debug scheme ... that way a developer or developers could dump extra info and/or specify added build parameters for a file as desired, but it would be easier for whomever builds the release to see that, if the modified Setup file is uploaded to the repository.

Setup under the 1.9.1 release code currently contains:

#DEBUG = -C-W -C-Wall
  DEBUG =

with the build instruction for joystick.c being:

  joystick src/joystick.c $(SDL) $(DEBUG)

Possibly replace that with something like:

  CFLAGS = -C-W -C-Wall
  DEBUG = -D DEBUG

with the build instruction now looking like

  joystick src/joystickc $(SDL) $(CFLAGS) $(DEBUG)

for debugging, and

  joystick src/joystick.c $(SDL) $(CFLAGS)

for release. The developer would, as you suggested, wrap debug-only statements with a #ifdef DEBUG / #endif pair.

I'd guess that there are other ways to implement this, perhaps with individual CFLAGS/DEBUG variables for each source file, but the above might be the least intrusive and easy to spot during the release process.

Hi,

Unless I've built 1.9.1 wrong, it looks like there are several
executable (debug-type) printf() statements embedded in joystick.c ...
the test code below shows the output from one of them - it's pretty
rudimentary, plug in a joystick first!
These are present in the prebuilt pygame for Windows as well.

I didn't see any references to these in the list archives up to August
9, so I'll apologize in advance if they've already been reported.
I was about to report these when I saw your post.

The offending statements were added in revision 2131 to joystick.c
(ViewCVS: http://www.seul.org/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi?rev=2131&root=PyGame&view=rev).
I'm not sure what's being tested, but these statements definitely do
not belong there (at the very least, they should be protected by
#ifdef DEBUG).
