[FR-devel] supposed bug in databus.rb ( -w || -d issues)

[gabriele renzi]

[story]
I thougth that 'failing to start plugin' and 'failing
to load plugin' were not really  useful 

debug statements, so I thought that possibly I could
unlock some other debug info using the -d or 

-w switches from the intepreter.

well, you better avoid this :) 
[/story]

so I started to mess up the FR code to hide some of
the most noising stuff, mostly uninitialized 

vars from databus.rb.
In this journey I discovered that there is an
unreachable statement in line 1000 of 

freebase/lib/databus.rb

      def remove(key)
        return @map.remove[key]
        @slot.notify(:notify_map_remove)
      end


Now, the core of this message:
Should we bother to have freebase/FR runnning with
$DEBUG=true and warnings enabled ? IMO there 

could be lots of subtle bugs to kill this way.
(well, I'm not sure the word 'subtle' exists, but you
got it , I hope..)

More than this, having FR/FB running withouth
linenoise with $DEBUG and warnings enabled would 

allow other developers to use this flags when
developing their own code (i.e. plugins for FR pr 

aplications using FB).
ATM if someone is going to use -w somewhere he'd get
tons of other warnings unrelated to his own 

code.. 


What do you think about this ?
