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: EPHY_LOG_MODULES
variable.

EPHY_LOG_MODULES variable has the form:

	<moduleName>[:<moduleName>]*

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

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

PROFILING
=========

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

EPHY_PROFILE_MODULES variable has the form:

	<moduleName>[:<moduleName>]*

moduleName is a filename.
ex: export EPHY_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.
