Environment variables

Try enabling (setting to non-zero value) in the environment before launching your QML app to get all kinds of interesting data about the runtime execution and data related to your QML app.

• QML_SHOW_FRAMERATE

  Dump stats during painting events, for example:

Debug: paintEvent: 13 time since last frame: 36

• QML_ENABLE_TEXT_IMAGE_CACHE

  TBD (please describe what this does if you know)

• QML_BINDINGS_DUMP

  Report details about various bindings between elements, for example:

...
Warning: Program.bindings: 1 
Warning: Program.dataLength: 28 
Warning: Program.subscriptions: 1 
Warning: Program.indentifiers: 0 
Warning: 	Skip			-1	0
Warning: 121:31:
Warning: 	LoadScope		0	0
Warning: 	FetchAndSubscribe	0	0	0
Warning: 	Store			0	16	0
Warning: 	Done
...

If you know how to use/interpret this data, please add that info here, or link to someplace that does.

• QML_COMPILER_DUMP

  Report runtime compiler operations and data per .qml parsed, for example:

...

Warning: 10     67      BEGIN                   12
...

• QML_COMPILER_STATS

  Reports various statistics about components (objects, IDs, bindings) for each .qml parsed, for example:

• QML_REWRITE_DUMP

  Reports out all the rewritten code during the parsing phase, for example:

Warning: =============================================================
Warning: Rewrote:
Warning: (typeof theme_panelStatusBarOpacity == "undefined") ? 0.4 : theme_panelStatusBarOpacity
Warning: To:
Warning: (function $panelStatusBarOpacity() { return (typeof theme_panelStatusBarOpacity == "undefined") ? 0.4 : theme_panelStatusBarOpacity })
Warning: =============================================================

• QML_EXPERIMENTAL

  TBD (please describe what this does if you know)

• QML_DISABLE_FAST_PROPERTIES

  TBD (please describe what this does if you know)

• QML_DISABLE_OPTIMIZER

  TBD (please describe what this does if you know)

• QML_XHR_DUMP

  TBD (please describe what this does if you know)

• QML_IMPORT_TRACE

  Dump details on the import actions being taken, including which Types are "resolved" by with imported qml files. Helps to trace unexpected results to possible namespace collision and/or search path order issues. For example:

...
Debug: QDeclarativeImports(file:///usr/lib/qt4/imports/MeeGo/Ux/Components/Common/Window.qml)::addImport: "MeeGo.Components" 0.1 Library as ""
Debug: QDeclarativeImports(file:///usr/lib/qt4/imports/MeeGo/Ux/Components/Common/Window.qml::importExtension: loaded "/usr/lib/qt4/imports/MeeGo/Components/qmldir"

Debug: QDeclarativeImports(file:///usr/lib/qt4/imports/MeeGo/Ux/Components/Indicators/StatusBar.qml)::addImport: "." -1.-1 File as ""
...

• QML_IMPORT_PATH

  Alter the paths search to resolve "import" directives

• QML_CHECK_TYPES

  Enable stricter type checking, reporting and debugging, for example:

Warning: file:///usr/share/meego-app-test/main.qml:29:1: Type Window unavailable
     Window {
     ^
Warning: file:///usr/lib/qt4/imports/MeeGo/Ux/Components/Common/Window.qml:441:5: Theme is ambiguous. Found in file:///usr/lib/qt4/imports/MeeGo/Components and in file:///usr/lib/qt4/imports/MeeGo/Ux/Kernel
         Theme { id: theme }
         ^
Debug: Raising window
