# Debug Logging

enum WpLogTopicFlags

  WpLogTopic flags.

  Values:

  enumerator WP_LOG_TOPIC_LEVEL_MASK = 0xFFFF

    the lower 16 bits of the flags are GLogLevelFlags

  enumerator WP_LOG_TOPIC_FLAG_STATIC = 1u << 30

    the log topic has infinite lifetime (lives on static storage)

  enumerator WP_LOG_TOPIC_FLAG_INITIALIZED = 1u << 31

    the log topic has been initialized

static const guint WP_LOG_LEVEL_TRACE = (1 << 8)

  A custom GLib log level for trace messages (extension of GLogLevelFlags)

void wp_log_topic_register(WpLogTopic *topic)

  Registers a log topic.

  The log topic must be unregistered using wp_log_topic_unregister before its lifetime ends.

  This function is threadsafe.

void wp_log_topic_unregister(WpLogTopic *topic)

  Unregisters a log topic.

  This function is threadsafe.

void wp_log_topic_init(WpLogTopic *topic)

  Initializes a log topic. Internal function, don’t use it directly.

GLogWriterOutput wp_log_writer_default(GLogLevelFlags log_level_flags, const GLogField *fields, gsize n_fields, gpointer user_data)

  WirePlumber’s GLogWriterFunc.

  This is installed automatically when you call wp_init() with WP_INIT_SET_GLIB_LOG set in the flags

void wp_log_checked(const gchar *log_topic, GLogLevelFlags log_level_flags, const gchar *file, const gchar *line, const gchar *func, GType object_type, gconstpointer object, const gchar *message_format, ...)

  Used internally by the debug logging macros. Avoid using it directly.

  Deprecated:

    Use wp_logt_checked instead.

  This assumes that the arguments are correct and that the log_topic is enabled for the given log_level. No additional checks are performed.

void wp_logt_checked(const WpLogTopic *topic, GLogLevelFlags log_level_flags, const gchar *file, const gchar *line, const gchar *func, GType object_type, gconstpointer object, const gchar *message_format, ...)

  Used internally by the debug logging macros. Avoid using it directly.

  This assumes that the arguments are correct and that the log_topic is enabled for the given log_level. No additional checks are performed.

struct spa_log *wp_spa_log_get_instance(void)

  Gets WirePlumber’s instance of `spa_log`

  Returns:

    WirePlumber’s instance of `spa_log`, which can be used to redirect PipeWire’s log messages to the currently installed GLogWriterFunc. This is installed automatically when you call wp_init() with WP_INIT_SET_PW_LOG set in the flags

WP_DEFINE_LOCAL_LOG_TOPIC(name) WP_LOG_TOPIC_STATIC(WP_LOCAL_LOG_TOPIC, name)

  Defines a static WpLogTopic* variable called WP_LOCAL_LOG_TOPIC.

  The log topic is automatically initialized to the given topic name when it is first used. The default logging macros expect this variable to be defined, so it is a good coding practice in the WirePlumber codebase to start all files at the top with:

      WP_DEFINE_LOCAL_LOG_TOPIC ("some-topic")

  Parameters:

    - name – The name of the log topic

WP_LOG_TOPIC_STATIC(var, name) static WpLogTopic var##_struct = { .topic_name = name, .flags = WP_LOG_TOPIC_FLAG_STATIC

}; \

static G_GNUC_UNUSED

WpLogTopic * var = &(var##_struct);

  Defines a static WpLogTopic* variable called var with the given topic name.

  Parameters:

    - var – The name of the variable to define

    - name – The name of the log topic

WP_LOG_TOPIC(var, name) WpLogTopic var##_struct = { .topic_name = name, .flags = WP_LOG_TOPIC_FLAG_STATIC }; \ WpLogTopic * var = &(var##_struct);

  Defines a WpLogTopic* variable called var with the given topic name. Unlike WP_LOG_TOPIC_STATIC(), the variable defined here is not static, so it can be linked to by other object files.

  Parameters:

    - var – The name of the variable to define

    - name – The name of the log topic

WP_LOG_TOPIC_EXTERN(var) extern WpLogTopic * var;

  Declares an extern WpLogTopic* variable called var. This variable is meant to be defined in a .c file with WP_LOG_TOPIC()

  Parameters:

    - var – The name of the variable to declare

WP_OBJECT_FORMAT "<%s:%p>"

  A format string to print GObjects with WP_OBJECT_ARGS() For example:

      GObject *myobj = ...;
      wp_debug ("This: " WP_OBJECT_FORMAT " is an object", WP_OBJECT_ARGS (myobj));

WP_OBJECT_ARGS(object) (object ? G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME(object) : "invalid"), object

  A macro to format an object for printing with WP_OBJECT_FORMAT.
