George Joseph	7440fd0397	Scope Trace: Add some new tracing macros and an ast_str helper ... Created new SCOPE_ functions that don't depend on RAII_VAR. Besides generating less code, the use of the explicit SCOPE_EXIT macros capture the line number where the scope exited. The RAII_VAR versions can't do that. * SCOPE_ENTER(level, ...): Like SCOPE_TRACE but doesn't use RAII_VAR and therefore needs needs one of... * SCOPE_EXIT(...): Decrements the trace stack counter and optionally prints a message. * SCOPE_EXIT_EXPR(__expr, ...): Decrements the trace stack counter, optionally prints a message, then executes the expression. SCOPE_EXIT_EXPR(break, "My while got broken\n"); * SCOPE_EXIT_RTN(, ...): Decrements the trace stack counter, optionally prints a message, then returns without a value. SCOPE_EXIT_RTN("Bye\n"); * SCOPE_EXIT_RTN_VALUE(__return_value, ...): Decrements the trace stack counter, optionally prints a message, then returns the value specified. SCOPE_EXIT_RTN_VALUE(rc, "Returning with RC: %d\n", rc); Create an ast_str helper ast_str_tmp() that allocates a temporary ast_str that can be passed to a function that needs it, then frees it. This makes using the above macros easier. Example: SCOPE_ENTER(1, Format Caps 1: %s Format Caps 2: %s\n", ast_str_tmp(32, ast_format_cap_get_names(cap1, &STR_TMP), ast_str_tmp(32, ast_format_cap_get_names(cap2, &STR_TMP)); The calls to ast_str_tmp create an ast_str of the specified initial length which can be referenced as STR_TMP. It then calls the expression, which must return a char *, ast_strdupa's it, frees STR_TMP, then returns the ast_strdupa'd string. That string is freed when the function returns.

George Joseph	ca3c22c5f1	Scope Tracing: A new facility for tracing scope enter/exit ... What's wrong with ast_debug? ast_debug is fine for general purpose debug output but it's not really geared for scope tracing since it doesn't present its output in a way that makes capturing and analyzing flow through Asterisk easy. How is scope tracing better? Scope tracing uses the same "cleanup" attribute that RAII_VAR uses to print messages to a separate "trace" log level. Even better, the messages are indented and unindented based on a thread-local call depth counter. When output to a separate log file, the output is uncluttered and easy to follow. Here's an example of the output. The leading timestamps and thread ids are removed and the output cut off at 68 columns for commit message restrictions but you get the idea. --> res_pjsip_session.c:3680 handle_incoming PJSIP/1173-00000001 --> res_pjsip_session.c:3661 handle_incoming_response PJSIP/1173 --> res_pjsip_session.c:3669 handle_incoming_response PJSIP/ --> chan_pjsip.c:3265 chan_pjsip_incoming_response_after --> chan_pjsip.c:3194 chan_pjsip_incoming_response P chan_pjsip.c:3245 chan_pjsip_incoming_respon <-- chan_pjsip.c:3194 chan_pjsip_incoming_response P <-- chan_pjsip.c:3265 chan_pjsip_incoming_response_after <-- res_pjsip_session.c:3669 handle_incoming_response PJSIP/ <-- res_pjsip_session.c:3661 handle_incoming_response PJSIP/1173 <-- res_pjsip_session.c:3680 handle_incoming PJSIP/1173-00000001 The messages with the "-->" or "<--" were produced by including the following at the top of each function: SCOPE_TRACE(1, "%s\n", ast_sip_session_get_name(session)); Scope isn't limited to functions any more than RAII_VAR is. You can also see entry and exit from "if", "for", "while", etc blocks. There is also an ast_trace() macro that doesn't track entry or exit but simply outputs a message to the trace log using the current indent level. The deepest message in the sample (chan_pjsip.c:3245) was used to indicate which "case" in a "select" was executed. How do you use it? More documentation is available in logger.h but here's an overview: * Configure with --enable-dev-mode. Like debug, scope tracing is #ifdef'd out if devmode isn't enabled. * Add a SCOPE_TRACE() call to the top of your function. * Set a logger channel in logger.conf to output the "trace" level. * Use the CLI (or cli.conf) to set a trace level similar to setting debug level... CLI> core set trace 2 res_pjsip.so Summary Of Changes: * Added LOG_TRACE logger level. Actually it occupies the slot formerly occupied by the now defunct "event" level. * Added core asterisk option "trace" similar to debug. Includes ability to specify global trace level in asterisk.conf and CLI commands to turn on/off and set levels. Levels can be set globally (probably not a good idea), or by module/source file. * Updated sample asterisk.conf and logger.conf. Tracing is disabled by default in both. * Added __ast_trace() to logger.c which keeps track of the indent level using TLS. It's #ifdef'd out if devmode isn't enabled. * Added ast_trace() and SCOPE_TRACE() macros to logger.h. These are all #ifdef'd out if devmode isn't enabled. Why not use gcc's -finstrument-functions capability? gcc's facility doesn't allow access to local data and doesn't operate on non-function scopes. Known Issues: The only know issue is that we currently don't know the line number where the scope exited. It's reported as the same place the scope was entered. There's probably a way to get around it but it might involve looking at the stack and doing an 'addr2line' to get the line number. Kind of like ast_backtrace() does. Not sure if it's worth it.
