> > System in which various debug modes can be used (TRACE, WARN, FIXME,
> > ERROR, etc). It would use DbgPrintEx along with Debug Filters (just like

> > many of the messages to show. I believe the current WINE system has the

> > in our ntdll/ntoskrnl, so they must be implemented. Additionally, these
> > Debug Messages would only be inserted into the code for a DBG build,
> > just like it is currently done now. Finally, using this system will
> > allow us to better share code with WINE.
