Note that someone (not me -- never tried it) thought enough of LLTRACE to document it, in Misc/SpecialBuilds.txt.

That would have been me.

When I created that file, I warned that any special build not documented there was fair game for removal, so someone must want it, and badly enough to write a paragraph .

It's handly for ultra low level debugging (hence the name -- maybe it should be ULLTRACE ). It's the sort of stuff that wouldn't be hard to add while you were debugging, but it's there now so why kill it?

Cheers, M.
