8 * The trace API can be used to print debug messages to stderr or a file. Trace
9 * code is inactive unless explicitly enabled by setting `GIT_TRACE*` environment
10 * variables.
12 * The trace implementation automatically adds `timestamp file:line ... \n` to
13 * all trace messages. E.g.:
15 * ------------
16 * 23:59:59.123456 git.c:312 trace: built-in: git 'foo'
17 * 00:00:00.000001 builtin/foo.c:99 foo: some message
18 * ------------
20 * Bugs & Caveats
21 * --------------
23 * GIT_TRACE_* environment variables can be used to tell Git to show
24 * trace output to its standard error stream. Git can often spawn a pager
25 * internally to run its subcommand and send its standard output and
26 * standard error to it.
28 * Because GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE trace is generated only at the very end
29 * of the program with atexit(), which happens after the pager exits, it
30 * would not work well if you send its log to the standard error output
31 * and let Git spawn the pager at the same time.
33 * As a work around, you can for example use '--no-pager', or set
34 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE to another file descriptor which is redirected
35 * to stderr, or set GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE to a file specified by its
36 * absolute path.
38 * For example instead of the following command which by default may not
39 * print any performance information:
41 * ------------
42 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=2 git log -1
43 * ------------
45 * you may want to use:
47 * ------------
48 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=2 git --no-pager log -1
49 * ------------
51 * or:
53 * ------------
54 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=3 3>&2 git log -1
55 * ------------
57 * or:
59 * ------------
60 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=/path/to/log/file git log -1
61 * ------------

66 * Defines a trace key (or category). The default (for API functions that
67 * don't take a key) is `GIT_TRACE`.
69 * E.g. to define a trace key controlled by environment variable `GIT_TRACE_FOO`:
71 * ------------
72 * static struct trace_key trace_foo = TRACE_KEY_INIT(FOO);
74 * static void trace_print_foo(const char *message)
75 * {
76 * trace_printf_key(&trace_foo, "%s", message);
77 * }
78 * ------------
80 * Note: don't use `const` as the trace implementation stores internal state in
81 * the `trace_key` structure.

184 * Macros to add file:line - see above for C-style declarations of how these
185 * should be used.
189 * TRACE_CONTEXT may be set to __FUNCTION__ if the compiler supports it. The
190 * default is __FILE__, as it is consistent with assert(), and static function
191 * names are not necessarily unique.
193 * __FILE__ ":" __FUNCTION__ doesn't work with GNUC, as __FILE__ is supplied
194 * by the preprocessor as a string literal, and __FUNCTION__ is filled in by
195 * the compiler as a string constant.

206 * #define foo(format, ...) bar(format, __VA_ARGS__)
