[Gluster-devel] regarding gluster msg ids

[Pranith Kumar Karampuri]

hi Shyam,
    Instead of printing numbers as msg-ids, could we print the stringification 
of macro itself as the msg-id? Reasons why I feel this is better:
    - No need to worry about msg-id range segment overlaps as we are not 
dealing with numbers anymore.
    - macro re-use in same file will cause compilation error. Different 
msg-id.h files will have different prefixes for msg-ids so there should not be 
any collisions across components.
    - We can choose to give easy-to-remember msg-ids like AFR-SPLIT-BRAIN if we 
want to. No need to lookup what msg-id means etc.

I sent a first-cut patch at: http://review.gluster.org/7398

TODO: Remove segment related macros if you guys also like the change.

This is one of the messages with and without patch above:
