4 There are a varieties of utilities we use with cairo.
10 This is a small shared library designed to be preloaded by the
11 linker and its purpose is to make the backtrace_symbols() function
12 of glibc produce more useful source reference information.
16 make backtrace-symbols.so
20 LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/backtrace-symbols.so app-to-run
22 This code should be contributed back to glibc at some point.
28 This is a small shared library designed to be preloaded by the
29 linker and its purpose is to make the malloc_stats() function
30 of glibc produce more useful information.
38 LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/malloc-stats.so app-to-run
40 This works best when backtrace-symbols is in use. That is:
42 LD_PRELOAD="$PWD/backtrace-symbols.so $PWD/malloc-stats.so" app-to-run
48 This tool can be used to trace all the cairo function calls made by an
49 applications. This is useful for either extracting a test case triggering
50 a bug from an application, or simply to get a general idea of how an
51 application is using cairo.
54 cairo-api-update and xr2cairo
55 -----------------------------
57 These two scripts were used to convert source code written for pre-1.0
58 cairo to newer API. See $(top_srcdir)/PORTING_GUIDE for more information.
60 These files are obsolete now and may be removed in a future version.
63 cairo-view and waterfall
64 ------------------------
66 These are two pycairo scripts useful for testing the toy font backend.
