Abstract
A computing system for converting software code into an executable program include an expanding preprocessor that receives software code including debug statements and expands the debug statements into conditions that include a static variable and that must be met before a trace contained in the statement is executed, the expanding preprocessor creating an expanded code output. The system also includes a replacement preprocessor coupled to the expanding preprocessor and receiving the expanded code, the replacement preprocessor forming replaced code by replacing one or more occurrences of the static variables with a unique variable name and a compiler that compiles the replacement code to create an executable.
