Linux: Usage

Get code:

git clone -b srs https://github.com/ossrs/state-threads.git

For Linux:

make linux-debug

For Linux aarch64, which fail with Unknown CPU architecture:

make linux-debug EXTRA_CFLAGS="-D__aarch64__"

Note: For more CPU architectures, please see #22

Linux with valgrind:

make linux-debug EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DMD_VALGRIND"

Remark: User must install valgrind, for instance, in centos6 sudo yum install -y valgrind valgrind-devel.

Linux with valgrind and epoll:

make linux-debug EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DMD_HAVE_EPOLL -DMD_VALGRIND"

Mac: Usage

Get code:

git clone -b srs https://github.com/ossrs/state-threads.git

For OSX:

make darwin-debug

For OSX, user must specifies the valgrind header files:

make darwin-debug EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DMD_HAVE_KQUEUE -DMD_VALGRIND -I/usr/local/include"

Remark: M1 is unsupported by ST, please use docker to run, please read SRS#2747.

Windows: Usage

Get code:

git clone -b srs https://github.com/ossrs/state-threads.git

For Cygwin(Windows):

make cygwin64-debug

Remark: Windows native build is unsupported right now.

GDB Tools

• Support show_coroutines, show all coroutines and caller function.

Valgrind

How to debug with gdb under valgrind, read valgrind manual.

About startup parameters, read valgrind cli.

Important cli options:

1. --undef-value-errors=<yes|no> [default: yes], Controls whether Memcheck reports uses of undefined value errors. Set this to no if you don't want to see undefined value errors. It also has the side effect of speeding up Memcheck somewhat.
2. --leak-check=<no|summary|yes|full> [default: summary], When enabled, search for memory leaks when the client program finishes. If set to summary, it says how many leaks occurred. If set to full or yes, each individual leak will be shown in detail and/or counted as an error, as specified by the options --show-leak-kinds and --errors-for-leak-kinds.
3. --track-origins=<yes|no> [default: no], Controls whether Memcheck tracks the origin of uninitialised values. By default, it does not, which means that although it can tell you that an uninitialised value is being used in a dangerous way, it cannot tell you where the uninitialised value came from. This often makes it difficult to track down the root problem.
4. --show-reachable=<yes|no> , --show-possibly-lost=<yes|no>, to show the using memory.

Linux: UTest

Note: We use Google test in utest/gtest-fit.

To make ST with utest and run it:

make linux-debug-utest && ./obj/st_utest

Note that the gcc(4.8) of CentOS is too old, please use docker(ossrs/srs:dev-gcc7) to run:

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/state-threads -w /state-threads \
    registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ossrs/srs:dev-gcc7 \
    bash -c 'make linux-debug-utest && ./obj/st_utest'

Mac: UTest

Note: We use Google test in utest/gtest-fit.

To make ST with utest and run it:

make darwin-debug-utest && ./obj/st_utest

Linux: Coverage

Note: We use Google test in utest/gtest-fit.

To make ST with utest and run it:

make linux-debug-gcov && ./obj/st_utest

Note that the gcc(4.8) of CentOS is too old, please use docker(ossrs/srs:dev-gcc7) to run:

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/state-threads -w /state-threads \
    registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ossrs/srs:dev-gcc7 \
    bash -c 'make linux-debug-gcov && ./obj/st_utest'

Then, install gcovr for coverage:

yum install -y python2-pip &&
pip install lxml && pip install gcovr

Finally, run test and get the report:

bash auto/coverage.sh

Mac: Coverage

Note: We use Google test in utest/gtest-fit.
