[gentoo-user] splitdebug

[Bo Ørsted Andresen]

If I want to take full advantage of the new splitdebug feature. Should I then
emerge -e world? I don't think the backtraces doc [1] answers that.

For "full" advantage, yes, you would need to emerge -e world, since
otherwise the debugging information will only be generated for new
merges. And of course, any binary packages won't get debug symbols in
any case.

But if there is a specific program you are wanting to get backtraces
from, you can simplify by just re-merging that program and dependant
libraries.

Thanks. Good to know.

Like this:

# emerge -ep kontact kmail knode akregator | awk '$1~/ebuild/{print $4}' | \
sed -e 's/\-[0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]*$//' | grep lib | xargs emerge -vp

Or how else to know?

This will merge all of system. I was thinking more like:

ldd `which kontact kmail knode akregator` | grep '=>' | awk '{print $3}' \
| sort | uniq | xargs equery belongs | grep '/' | sort | uniq \
| xargs printf "=%s\n" | xargs emerge -p --oneshot

(Ok people, have at it. Show me how you can do this in 5 commands or less.)

Very nice. :)

I guess this would do:

# ldd `which kontact kmail knode akregator` | awk '$2~/^=>$/{print $3}' | \
sort -u | xargs equery belongs | sort -u | while read pkg; do grep -q \
splitdebug /var/db/pkg/"$pkg"/FEATURES || echo ="$pkg"; done | \
xargs emerge -p1

Just in case others are interested I ended out with this script:

===============================================
#/bin/bash

for arg in $@; do
if [[ "${arg}" =~ "^\-" ]]; then
EMERGE_ARGS="${EMERGE_ARGS} ${arg}"
else
BINARIES="${BINARIES} ${arg}"
fi
done

PKG_LIST=`which ${BINARIES} | xargs -r ldd | awk '$2~/^=>$/{print $3}' | \
sort -u | xargs -r equery belongs | sort -u | while read pkg; do grep -q \
splitdebug /var/db/pkg/"$pkg"/FEATURES || echo ="$pkg"; done | xargs`

if [[ -n "${PKG_LIST}" ]]; then
emerge --verbose --oneshot ${EMERGE_ARGS} ${PKG_LIST}
fi
===============================================

This allows me to run it with -a or --ask to avoid having to wait for equery
and emerge twice.

Thanks Richard. :)

<pedant>That should be "five commands or fewer"</pedant> :)

awk does pattern matching, so you can drop the first grep and use
awk '/=>/ {print $3}'

The second grep appears redundant too, when i tried this, all lines
contained '/'.

Both invocations of uniq are unnecessary, use sort -u instead.

Replacing 'xargs printf "=%s\n"' with 'sed s/^/=/' is technically one
less command, although the same number of pipeline stages.

So that's five commands removed without thinking or adding anything
original... I should be a consultant :)
