Usage: $0 [-d] [-q] [-1] check-module [failing-script1 failing-script2 ...]
A tool to simplify remote debugging of build problems for XSUB modules.
By default, output goes to STDERR (to pass through the test suite wrappers).
If CHECK-MODULE is non-empty (and not 0) checks whether it may be
loaded (with -Mblib). If FAILING-SCRIPTS are present, rebuilds the
current distribution with debugging (in subdirectory $bd), and
machine-code-debugs Perl crash when running each FAILING-SCRIPT.
Outputs as much info about the crash as it can massage from gdb or
dbx.
If any problem is detected, outputs the MakeMaker arguments (extracted
from the generated Makefiles). Some minimal intelligence to avoid a
flood of useless information is applied: if CHECK-MODULE cannot be
loaded (but there is no crash during loading), no debugging for
FAILING-SCRIPTs is done.
Options: With -d, prefers dbx to gdb (DEFAULT: prefer gdb).
With -q and no FAILING-SCRIPTs, won't print anything unless a
failure of loading is detected.
With -1, all output goes to STDOUT.
Assumptions:
Should be run in the root of a distribution, or its immediate subdir.
Running Makefile.PL with OPTIMIZE=-g builds debugging version.
If FAILING-SCRIPTs are relative paths, they should be local w.r.t. the
root of the distribution.
gdb (or dbx) is fresh enough to understand the options we throw in.
Building in a subdirectory does not break a module (e.g., there is
no dependence on its position in its parent distribution, if any).
Creates a subdirectory ./$bd. Add it to `clean' in Makefile.PL.
