Old website
===========

See: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/gtk-web (in the git history)

The `gtk-doc/` directory has been removed after a big update to
[gtk.org](https://gtk.org/)

But it can contain useful information nevertheless, or a different wording at
presenting GTK-Doc.

Testing
=======

jhbuild --no-interact build 2>&1 | tee build.log
grep "gtkdoc-* line" build.log

jhbuild buildone --no-net glib

Since 1.23 we do have a snapshot feature to check the stability of the generated
xml/html. Simply run "make snapshot" under tests. Then make changes and run
"make check". The tests/sanity.sh will check for delta. If you want to inspect
what delta a change created, you can git checkout a revision before the change,
"make snapshot", go back to head and "make check", the sanity.sh test will now
fail and show the delta.

Releasing
=========

General: https://wiki.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner/Releasing

Specific to GTK-Doc
-------------------

- Version numbers and release dates are also present in:
  `help/manual/C/index.docbook`

Some commands:
```
TAR_OPTIONS="--owner=root --group=root" make distcheck
```

Optimizing & Measuring
======================

cd tests/gobject/docs/html
time xsltproc --nonet --xinclude --stringparam gtkdoc.bookname "tester" --stringparam gtkdoc.version "1.12" ../../../../gtk-doc.xsl ../tester-docs.xml
~ 1.1 sec.
time saxon ../tester-docs.xml ../../../../gtk-doc.xsl gtkdoc.bookname="tester" gtkdoc.version="1.12"
~ 53 sec.
time xsltproc --nonet --xinclude --stringparam gtkdoc.bookname "tester" --stringparam gtkdoc.version "1.12" /usr/share/yelp-xsl/xslt/docbook/html/db2html.xsl ../tester-docs.xml
~ 0.7 sec

cd /your/project/docs/html
time xsltproc --nonet --xinclude --stringparam gtkdoc.bookname "foo" --stringparam gtkdoc.version "1.12" /usr/share/gtk-doc/data/gtk-doc.xsl ../buzztrax-core-docs.xml
real  0m6.633s  user	0m6.464s  sys	0m0.128s
real	0m6.459s  user	0m6.384s  sys	0m0.068s

time xsltproc --nonet --xinclude --stringparam gtkdoc.bookname "buzztrax-core" --stringparam gtkdoc.version "1.12"  /usr/share/yelp-xsl/xslt/docbook/html/db2html.xsl ../buzztrax-core-docs.xml
real	0m3.312s  user	0m3.224s  sys	0m0.076s
real	0m3.549s  user	0m3.464s  sys	0m0.076s


xsltproc --profile data.xsl data.xml 2>report.txt
cat report.txt | gprof2dot.py -e 0.01 -n 0.01 | dot -Tpng -o report.png

one can now use "GTKDOC_PROFILE=1 make" to run this during gtkdoc-mkhtml. It
still needs a change in gprof2dot.py

Performance tips:
* uses keys when we have slow xpath selects

Troubles with parsing regexps
=============================
Test regexps online:
http://www.solmetra.com/scripts/regex/index.php

Test Coverage
=============
sudo apt-get install python3-coverage
PYTHONPATH=$PWD python3-coverage run tests/scan.py
python3-coverage html --include="gtkdoc/*.py"

or

cd test; make coverage

Find Dead Code
==============
sudo pip3 install vulture
PYTHONPATH=$PWD vulture gtkdoc/*.py gtkdoc-*.in
