Description

Functions

camel_debug_init ()

void
camel_debug_init (void);

Init camel debug.

CAMEL_DEBUG is set to a comma separated list of modules to debug. The modules can contain module-specific specifiers after a ':', or just act as a wildcard for the module or even specifier. e.g. 'imap' for imap debug, or 'imap:folder' for imap folder debug. Additionaly, ':folder' can be used for a wildcard for any folder operations.


camel_debug ()

gboolean
camel_debug (const gchar *mode);

Check to see if a debug mode is activated. mode takes one of two forms, a fully qualified 'module:target', or a wildcard 'module' name. It returns a boolean to indicate if the module or module and target is currently activated for debug output.


camel_debug_start ()

gboolean
camel_debug_start (const gchar *mode);

Start debug output for a given mode, used to make sure debug output is output atomically and not interspersed with unrelated stuff.

Returns

Returns true if mode is set, and in which case, you must call debug_end when finished any screen output.


camel_debug_end ()

void
camel_debug_end (void);

Call this when you're done with your debug output. If and only if you called camel_debug_start, and if it returns TRUE.


CAMEL_CHECK_GERROR()

#define             CAMEL_CHECK_GERROR(object, method, expr, error)

This sanity checks return values and GErrors. If returning failure, make sure the GError is set. If returning success, make sure the GError is NOT set.

Example:

success = class->foo (object, some_data, error); CAMEL_CHECK_GERROR (object, foo, success, error); return success;

Since: 2.32


CAMEL_CHECK_LOCAL_GERROR()

#define             CAMEL_CHECK_LOCAL_GERROR(object, method, expr, error)

Same as CAMEL_CHECK_GERROR, but for direct GError pointers.

Example:

success = class->foo (object, some_data, &local_error); CAMEL_CHECK_LOCAL_GERROR (object, foo, success, local_error); return success;

camel_pointer_tracker_track()

#define             camel_pointer_tracker_track(ptr)

Adds pointer 'ptr' to pointer tracker. Usual use case is to add object to the tracker in GObject::init and remove it from tracker within GObject::finalize. Since the tracker's functions are called, the application prints summary of the pointers on console on exit. If everything gone right then it prints message about all tracked pointers were removed. Otherwise it prints summary of left pointers in the tracker. Added pointer should be removed with pair function camel_pointer_tracker_untrack().

See camel_pointer_tracker_dump(), camel_pointer_tracker_track_with_info().

Parameters

ptr

pointer to add to pointer tracker

 

Since: 3.6


camel_pointer_tracker_track_with_info ()

void
camel_pointer_tracker_track_with_info (gpointer ptr,
                                       const gchar *info);

Adds pointer to the pointer tracker, with associated information, which is printed in summary of pointer tracker printed by camel_pointer_tracker_dump(). For convenience can be used camel_pointer_tracker_track(), which adds place of the caller as info . Added pointer should be removed with pair function camel_pointer_tracker_untrack().

Parameters

ptr

pointer to add to the pointer tracker

 

info

info to print in tracker summary

 

Since: 3.6


camel_pointer_tracker_untrack ()

void
camel_pointer_tracker_untrack (gpointer ptr);

Removes pointer from the pointer tracker. It's an error to try to remove pointer which was not added to the tracker by camel_pointer_tracker_track() or camel_pointer_tracker_track_with_info(), or a pointer which was already removed.

Parameters

ptr

pointer to remove from the tracker

 

Since: 3.6


camel_pointer_tracker_dump ()

void
camel_pointer_tracker_dump (void);

Prints information about currently stored pointers in the pointer tracker. This is called automatically on application exit if camel_pointer_tracker_track() or camel_pointer_tracker_track_with_info() was called.

Note: If the library is configured with --enable-backtraces, then also backtraces where the pointer was added is printed in the summary.

Since: 3.6


camel_debug_get_backtrace ()

GString *
camel_debug_get_backtrace (void);

Gets current backtrace leading to this function call.

Returns

Current backtrace, or NULL, if cannot determine it.

Note: Getting backtraces only works if the library was configured with --enable-backtraces.

Since: 3.12


camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace ()

void
camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace (const GString *backtrace,
                                      guint object_ref_count);

Adds this backtrace into the set of backtraces related to some object reference counting issues debugging. This is usually called inside g_object_ref() and g_object_unref(). If the backtrace corresponds to a g_object_unref() call, and a corresponding g_object_ref() backtrace is found in the current list, then the previous backtrace is removed and this one is skipped.

Any left backtraces in the list are printed at the application end.

A convenient function camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace_for_object() is provided too.

Parameters

backtrace

a backtrace to push, taken from camel_debug_get_backtrace()

 

object_ref_count

the current object reference count when the push is done

 

Since: 3.20


camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace_for_object ()

void
camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace_for_object
                               (gpointer _object);

Gets current backtrace of this call and adds it to the list of backtraces with camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace().

Usual usage would be, once GNOME bug 758358 is applied to the GLib sources, or a patched GLib is used, to call this function in an object init() function, like this:

static void my_object_init (MyObject *obj) { camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace_for_object (obj); g_track_object_ref_unref (obj, (GFunc) camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace_for_object, NULL); }

Note that the g_track_object_ref_unref() can track only one pointer, thus make sure you track the right one (add some logic if multiple objects are created at once).

Parameters

_object

a GObject, for which add the backtrace

 

Since: 3.20


camel_debug_ref_unref_dump_backtraces ()

void
camel_debug_ref_unref_dump_backtraces (void);

Prints current backtraces stored with camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace() or with camel_debug_ref_unref_push_backtrace_for_object().

It's usually not needed to use this function, as the left backtraces, if any, are printed at the end of the application.

Since: 3.20
