To enable debugging use the configure option --enable-debug.

LOGGING
=======

At execution time, you must enable the log service. To enable the
log service, set the environment variable: EV_LOG_MODULES

EV_LOG_MODULES variable has the form:

	<moduleName>[:<moduleName>]*

moduleName is a filename.
ex: export EV_LOG_MODULES=ev-window.c:ev-view.c
The special log module "all" enables all log modules.

Use the LOG macro to put debug messages in the code.

WARNINGS
========

At execution time, you must enable the service. To enable you to debug
warnings, set the environment variable: EV_DEBUG_BREAK

Possibe value for EV_DEBUG_BREAK variable:

	stack		Prints a stack trace.

	suspend		Use this to stop execution when a warning occurs.
			You can then attach a debugger to the process.

	trap		Use this while running epiphany in a debugger.
			This makes execution stop and gives back control to
			the debugger.


PROFILING
=========

At execution time, you must enable the profiling service. To enable the
profiling service, set the environment variable: EV_PROFILING_MODULES

EV_PROFILE_MODULES variable has the form:

	<moduleName>[:<moduleName>]*

moduleName is a filename.
ex: export EV_PROFILE_MODULES=ephy-window.c:ephy-autocompletion.c
The special profiling module "all" enables all profiling modules.

Use START_PROFILER STOP_PROFILER macros to profile pieces of code.
