I used this little script to dump case statements out for the #defines, with readable strings instead of arbitrary constant values.cat | awk [...]

I was trying to maintain a program that wrote 200+ lines to a single file, using a single repeated function call–many of which had all NULL parameters. There were also occasional loops involved. The data was position based, so NULL writes counted.I was just trying to figure out:How many times a given function was called.At [...]
