Hello list, I just joined here because I have a question/problem related to WebKitGTK development. I wanted to know if it's possible for you devs to also publish or provide builds with debugging symbols?
To give some context: I've spent around 2 days worth of free time this week trying to get the standard build to work, and it always hangs/crashes my computers when building the JavaSscriptCore files (not to mention they seem rather heavy). This has happened to me on my i7 4790K w/ 16 GB RAM (4C/8T) under both Manjaro Linux and Ubuntu 20.10 (I even switched to Manjaro to see if it was a lack of resources, but no) and it also happened on a VPS server I have rented on SSDNodes (12 vCPUs and 48 GB RAM), it hanged so bad that I had to hard-reboot it. I dunno what the code is doing, but I don't think I need to have a mainframe to build this, do I? The question also comes out of frustration: I'm trying to debug a "stack smashing detected" issue and to see the call stack I need the debugging symbols, otherwise all I see is undefined symbols all around. So, how hard/possible it is for you to provide a build with the debugging symbols (since you're the devs and might have already reached a checkpoint where you don't have to build the JavaScriptCore anymore since builds are incremental) for us poor devs who can't afford a more powerful rig and are actually developing apps to bring some bread to the table? Thanks and sorry for my lack of netiquette regarding mailing lists, I'm pretty new to using these. I wonder why don't you guys have a forum, a discourse, or a way to submit questions/bug that's not an email list? Thanks, -Alemar _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
