Dear all, I am googling for a tool for debugging refcount bugs in my GObject-based apps. I've found refdbg, but unfortunately, on ubuntu 12.04 instructions from this readme [1] do not work. There is only one package, libglib2.0-0-refdbg which seems to be just a GLib build with slightly changed configure options, and it is obviously libglib not libgobject. So I've compiled refdbg by myself. It throws errors... $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/refdbg refdbg src/myapp -c config.xml /usr/bin/refdbg: 113: /usr/bin/refdbg: Syntax error: Bad for loop variable ...but I've found that it just prepends command with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/librefdbg.so but running it manually also gives an error $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/librefdbg.so LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/refdbg refdbg src/myapp -c config.xml RefDbg 1.2 init (process:447): RefDbg-CRITICAL **: LD_PRELOAD function override not working. Need to build glib with --disable-visibility? (See README), aborting.. I've found that ubuntu's libglib2.0-0-refdbg package builder appends only --disable-Bsymbolic option to glib, and --disable-visibility was intentionally removed according to its debian changelog. So I've manually updated debian/rules to rebuild the package and add --disable-visibility but glib's configure scripts throws an error configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-visibility I am stuck. What am I doing wrong? Is there any civilized way to debug GObject refcount bugs? What exactly means "intercepted" in the last sentence from official "Debugging reference count problems" page from docs [2]?
