Debug Variables

All drivers respond to a set of common debug environment variables, as well as
|
|
|
|
|
some driver-specific variables. Set them as normal environment variables for
|
|
|
|
|
the platform or operating system you are running. For example, for Linux this
|
|
|
|
|
can be done by typing "export var=value" into a console and then running the
|
2010-08-15 00:59:57 +01:00
|
|
|
program from that console.

This option controls if the debug variables should be printed to stderr. This
|
|
|
|
|
is probably the most useful variable, since it allows you to find which
|
|
|
|
|
variables a driver uses.

If set, this variable will cause the :ref:`Trace` output to be written to the

specified file. Paths may be relative or absolute; relative paths are relative

to the working directory. For example, setting it to "trace.xml" will cause
|

|
|
|
the trace to be written to a file of the same name in the working directory.

the shader sanity checker prints its warnings and errors to stderr.

Remote Debugger

The remote debugger, commonly known as rbug, allows for runtime inspections of
|
|
|
|
|
:ref:`Context`, :ref:`Screen`, :ref:`Resource` and :ref:`Shader` objects; and
|
|
|
|
|
pausing and stepping of :ref:`Draw` calls. Is used with rbug-gui which is
|
|
|
|
|
hosted outside of the main mesa repository. rbug is can be used over a network
|
|
|
|
|
connection, so the debugger does not need to be on the same machine.
