Debugging OO

1. build debug=true dbglevel=2 for max output and dbglevel=1 or 0 for less output.
2.

gdb ./soffice.bin
(gdb) handle SIGPWR nostop noprint
(gdb) handle SIGXCPU nostop noprint
(gdb) handle SIG33 nostop noprint
(gdb) run -norestore -writer

3. (gdb) print dbg_dump(sWhatEver)

4. rebuild the module
gdb ./soffice.bin
 ...

 build debug=true

5. or

dmake killobj
dmake

6.Non-Product Builds are created using a special configure switch, namely --enable-dbgutil.

For available tools in non-product builds, have a look at the various DBG_foo macros in tools/debug.hxx

To actually fire up the debug settings dialog, press -D.

To use (or do QA for) the additional debug features: just run OO.o, and
when it's in full-flow, press --
'D' in that order
