Abstract:

The presentation covers code generation and the development process for diagnostic logging
in the prototype Ultra Mobile Broadband project at Qualcomm, Inc.. We use code generation
and supporting framework to eliminate hand-coded diagnostic logging support for log header
setup, data structure definition, marshalling, queuing, and even visualization. This also
improves system reliability because generated diagnostic logging code by reusing already
tested framework and marshalling routines. There will be a demo of the complete development
cycle for a diagnostic log type to showcase the effectiveness of code generation.
