<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Do we want to produce a warning if someone tries writing to refs from logger.conf (an error if they do so with REF_DEBUG enabled)? I know this is unlikely, I'm just trying to think of everything since this is being applied to existing branches.
With refcounter.py I found two backtraces:
KeyboardInterrupt (Ctrl-C)
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe (exiting less before refcounter.py finished output)
It'd be awesome if these would just silently exit.</pre>

<pre style="margin-left: 2em; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I don't much care for output of normal objects by default. This produces very large output even for just starting and stopping asterisk (9.4MB in my test run of 1.8), and objects that didn't leak or skew are not normally useful. If I were troubleshooting an issue and felt the need to see normal objects, I would just want the original /var/log/asterisk/refs to see the order of all refs without grouping by object.
I'm not sure the other --suppress options are useful either. I think it would be fine if we always print all skew and leak objects (both are errors), and give an option to enable showing of normal objects. Less is better when it comes time to instruct a bug reporter on how to provide us the required information.</pre>

<pre style="margin-left: 2em; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">It looks weird to start the output line with the filename, maybe change the format to something like "File not found: %s". This is something I didn't see until I did a test run. Maybe I've just spent too much time working on a build system lately but this looked like command echo when I saw it.</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Note: while an improvement to Asterisk, this patch only affects Asterisk when compiled in -dev-mode. Since it has benefit only for developers looking to fix bugs, I'm proposing it for Asterisk 1.8+. The removal of refcounter should be done in trunk only.
Asterisk uses reference counted objects. A lot. As their use has spread, the bugs related to reference counting errors has grown as well. Central to resolving reference counting issues is the usage of REF_DEBUG; unfortunately, REF_DEBUG has had several problems:
(1) It could not be enabled through menuselect
(2) When not enabled globally, updates to objects were often lost, resulting in insufficient data to resolve problems
(3) The format of the ref debug log file was not suitable for parsing
This patch changes REF_DEBUG in the following ways:
(1) It makes REF_DEBUG a meneselect item when Asterisk is compiled with --enable-dev-mode
(2) The ref debug log file is now created in the AST_LOG_DIR directory. Every run will now blow away the previous run (as large ref files sometimes caused issues). We now also no longer open/close the file on each write, instead relying on fflush to make sure data gets written to the file (in case the ao2 call being performed is about to cause a crash)
(3) It goes with a comma delineated format for the ref debug file. This makes parsing much easier.
(4) It throws out the refcounter utility and goes with a python script instead.</pre>
