I agree. Perhaps for extremely catastrophic errors (those which
require a complete chip reset, for example), statistics are really the
way to go.
Also, all of these functions are not style properly. The openning
curly braces of a function belong on a separate line of their own, not
at the end of the arguments.
The braces for structure assignment blocks have a similar problem,
the final closing brace and semicolon should be on a line by itself.
