7.1.332. AnalyzeTraceΒΆ

Link to classic view

Usage: A program to analyze SUMA (and AFNI’s perhaps) stack output
The program can detect functions that return with RETURN without bothering to go on the stack.
AnaylzeTrace [options] FILE
where FILE is obtained by redirecting program’s trace output.

Optional Param:

-max_func_lines N: Set the maximum number of code lines before a function
returns. Default is no limit.
-suma_c\ : FILE is a SUMA_*.c file. It is analyzed for functions
that use SUMA_ RETURN (typo on purpose to avoid being caught here) without ENTRY
Note: The file for this program has special strings
(in comments at times) to avoid false alarms when processing it.
-max_err MAX_ERR: Stop after encountering MAX_ERR errors
reported in log. Default is 5. Error key terms are: ‘Error’, ‘error’, ‘corruption’

You should also search for the string: ‘Note No RETURN or exit here’. Its occurrence can be an error at times.

[-novolreg]: Ignore any Rotate, Volreg, Tagalign,
or WarpDrive transformations present in the Surface Volume.
[-noxform]: Same as -novolreg
[-setenv “‘ENVname=ENVvalue’”]: Set environment variable ENVname
to be ENVvalue. Quotes are necessary.
Example: suma -setenv “‘SUMA_BackgroundColor = 1 0 1’”
See also options -update_env, -environment, etc in the output of ‘suma -help’

Common Debugging Options:

[-trace]: Turns on In/Out debug and Memory tracing.
For speeding up the tracing log, I recommend you redirect stdout to a file when using this option. For example, if you were running suma you would use: suma -spec lh.spec -sv ... > TraceFile This option replaces the old -iodbg and -memdbg.
[-TRACE]: Turns on extreme tracing.
[-nomall]: Turn off memory tracing.
[-yesmall]: Turn on memory tracing (default).
NOTE: For programs that output results to stdout
(that is to your shell/screen), the debugging info might get mixed up with your results.

Global Options (available to all AFNI/SUMA programs)

-h: Mini help, at time, same as -help in many cases. -help: The entire help output
-HELP: Extreme help, same as -help in majority of cases.
-h_view: Open help in text editor. AFNI will try to find a GUI editor
-hview\ : on your machine. You can control which it should use by
setting environment variable AFNI_GUI_EDITOR.
-h_web: Open help in web browser. AFNI will try to find a browser.
-hweb\ : on your machine. You can control which it should use by
setting environment variable AFNI_GUI_EDITOR.
-h_find WORD: Look for lines in this programs’s -help output that match
(approximately) WORD.
-h_raw: Help string unedited
-h_spx: Help string in sphinx loveliness, but do not try to autoformat
-h_aspx: Help string in sphinx with autoformatting of options, etc.
-all_opts\ : Try to identify all options for the program from the
output of its -help option. Some options might be missed and others misidentified. Use this output for hints only.
