Since almost every program I write has a need for both error reporting 
and diagnostic tracing *and* past experience has shown that a well 
thought out diagnostic tracing scheme remains valuable when code is in 
production, you won't be surprised to hear that I have similar facilities 
for use in both C and Java. In the Java case its a single class capable 
of direct output via the error channel but that also has the ability to 
accumulate the last 'n' tracing messages in a circular buffer and to 
output them if an error is being reported (I swiped this idea from a 
mainframe OS, where its ability to show what happened in the last second 
or two before a crash was invaluable).

So I agree that the stand-alone method is a kludge, while at the same 
time its presence does declutter the code and also serves the useful 
purpose of getting rid of repetitive code. However, something like my 
rather more comprehensive diagnostic and reporting facility is more 
generally useful and reusable.
