Another thing I've long wanted was to be able to list all the outstanding sources from gdb. Its a total pain to debug async apps right now, because getting a backtrace just gives you the mainloop. Now that sources can get names (g_source_set_name) we should also be able to get a list of all outstanding sources, kinda like an async backtrace. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
