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_BINDINGS_DUMP

QtQuick versions: 1.0

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_BINDINGS_TEST

TBD (please describe what this does if you know)

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
...

QML_COMPILER_DUMP

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

...
