609368 - nanojit verbose mode should offer a log-to-file option

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Virtual Machine, enhancement)

Description

[Steven Johnson]

in many Flash configurations, it's painful to capture the output of verbose mode, due to breakages in stdout/stderr redirection in browser plugins; additionally, in other modes on Windows, we use OutputDebugString(), which is reliable but verrrrry slow.

while Flash should of course fix its bustedness in this regard, in the meantime we could greatly simplify nanojit debugging by adding a new verbose flag that does redirection of nanojit verbose output to a specific file, eg

    -Dverbose=jit,njlog="/path/to/file"

Is the existing -log insufficient ?  Or are you looking to separate verbose output from the default stdout.

Comment 2

[Steven Johnson]

Need to route it somewhere other than stdout. Does -log allow for that?

Comment 3

[Edwin Smith]

+1 to doing something in general.  Gavin (telemetry) might be interested to discuss ideas too.

Tamarin is a dead project now. Mass WONTFIX.

Tamarin isn't maintained anymore. WONTFIX remaining bugs.
