[Bug 1623763] Re: GTK Inspector Statistics tab non-functional

[Jeremy Bicha]

It appears this is actually because glib2.0 is not compiled with
--enable-debug so I'm reassigning this to glib2.0 and lowering the
importance to wishlist as a new "feature".

I'm also attaching an ancient Debian bug asking for this compile option.
Someone that cares about this feature should look into what the impact
is of --enable-debug and have a conversation with the Debian maintainers
about it.

Title:
  GTK Inspector Statistics tab non-functional

Status in GTK+:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in glib2.0 package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Running a GTK+ 3 app with GOBJECT_DEBUG=instance-count enables the
  Statistics tab in GTK Inspector, but after clicking the Record button
  it never starts collecting statistics. This makes it difficult to
  develop and debug memory leaks in GTK programs on Ubuntu.

  To reproduce:

  1. Start an app with the Inspector and GOBJECT_DEBUG=instance-count
  set, e.g.:

  > GOBJECT_DEBUG=instance-count GTK_DEBUG=interactive gnome-calculator

  2. Click the Statistics tab
  3. Click the Record button
  4. Click around the app a bit

  Expected: Object counts go up, pretty graphs showing things
  Actual: Object counts stay at 0, pretty graphs showing flat lines

  This seems like it is Ubuntu-specific, since when running GTK+
  programs installed via Flatpak (and hence using the Flatpak runtime),
  the above works fine on the same system.
