GLib's configure options and corresponding macros
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
--buildtype={plain,release,minsize,custom}
|
|
none
|
|
--buildtype={debug,debugoptimized} [debugoptimized is the default]
|
|
-DG_ENABLE_DEBUG -g
|
|
-Dglib_debug=disabled
|
|
Omits G_ENABLE_DEBUG when implied by --buildtype/-Ddebug
|
|
-Dglib_debug=enabled
|
|
Defines G_ENABLE_DEBUG regardless of --buildtype/-Ddebug
|
|
-Dglib_asserts=false
|
|
-DG_DISABLE_ASSERT
|
|
-Dglib_checks=false
|
|
-DG_DISABLE_CHECKS
|
|
|
|
Besides these, there are some local feature specific options, but my main
|
|
focus here is to concentrate on macros that affect overall GLib behaviour
|
|
and/or third party code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes on GLib's internal and global macros
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
G_DISABLE_ASSERT
|
|
The g_assert() and g_assert_not_reached() become non-functional
|
|
with this define. The motivation is to speed up end-user apps by
|
|
avoiding expensive checks.
|
|
This macro can affect third-party code. Defining it when building GLib
|
|
will only disable the assertion macros for GLib itself, but third-party code
|
|
that passes -DG_DISABLE_ASSERT to the compiler upon its own build
|
|
will end up with the non-functional variants after including glib.h
|
|
as well.
|
|
NOTE: Code inside the assertion macros should not have side effects
|
|
that affect the operation of the program.
|
|
G_DISABLE_CHECKS
|
|
This macro is similar to G_DISABLE_ASSERT, it affects third-party
|
|
code as mentioned above and the NOTE about G_DISABLE_ASSERT applies
|
|
too. The macros that become non-functional here are
|
|
g_return_if_fail(), g_return_val_if_fail(), g_return_if_reached() and
|
|
g_return_val_if_reached().
|
|
Additionally the glib_mem_profiler_table and g_mem_profile() from
|
|
gmem.h become non-functional if this macro is supplied.
|
|
This macro also switches off certain checks in the GSignal code.
|
|
G_ENABLE_DEBUG
|
|
Quite a bit of additional debugging code is compiled into GLib for this
|
|
macro, and since it is a globally visible define, third-party code may
|
|
be affected by it similar to G_DISABLE_ASSERT.
|
|
The additional code executed/compiled for this macro currently involve:
|
|
- extra validity checks for GDate
|
|
- memory profiling traps in gmem.c (consult debugging.txt for details)
|
|
- BREAKPOINT abortion for fatal log levels in gmessage.c instead of
|
|
plain abort() to allow debuggers trapping and overriding them
|
|
- added verbosity of gscanner.c to catch deprecated code paths
|
|
- added verbosity of gutils.c to catch deprecated code paths
|
|
- object ref/unref traps (consult debugging.txt) and object bookkeeping
|
|
in gobject.c
|
|
- extra validity checks in gsignal.c |
