Not many people know about bleh debugging.
It's a technique I use when I want to check whether a certain piece of code is being compiled at all, such as if it's been ifdef'd out.

It works by inserting the following keyword in the piece of code you're looking at:

bleh

This is a special word that triggers an error in compilers of all programming languages, resulting in a message like "error: 'bleh' undeclared" if the code gets compiled. If not, the code is compiled out.

@julienbarnoin the technical term for that i think is tombstone. in my web work we're mostly looking to see if they leave markers in the logs.
