Debug logging with ell

Debug logging with ell

Hi all,

Quick question: can I use l_debug() when I am dynamically linking with
installed ell library (i.e., the one created with make install and
linked as -lell)?
Calling l_debug() generates no output, l_info() works just fine.

When I link with libell-private, l_debug works as expected. Something
to do with debug mem sections?

I would rather not write my own logging if l_debug() is
available.

Thanks,

Inga

Try enabling debug logging at run-time, e.g.:   l_debug_enable("*");

HTH!

I do have the following statements in my code:
l_log_set_stderr();
l_debug_enable("*");

I suppose l_debug() wouldn't have worked when you linked against
libell-private otherwise.  Sorry.  I missed that. :)

In any case, this certainly used to work.  I was able to reproduce the
same problem you ran into as well, but I'm not sure what changed.

I suspect you're the first to try this, so doesn't surprise me that it 
doesn't work.  I imagine the current setup fails because the shared 
library has its own section and the executable has its own.

Probably can be solved with some macro magic, but will require a bit of 
surgery inside ell...

This used to work for me, but prior to today the last time I tried
enabling debug logging code was probably a couple of months ago.

Most likely to do with memory sections. One additional piece of info in
case it's helpful:
The section denoted by __start___debug[] and __stop___debug[] appears
to be shorter by size of one struct l_debug_desc when linking with
-lell (compared when compiled with internal lib).

So this should work now.  I've pushed a couple of fixes upstream.

Confirmed.  Debug logging works against a dynamically linked libell
for my use case.

Thanks!

Tested and it works now.
