glib g_log && Keep env(export) for sudo

These days, I used glib for coding and g_log to output debug logs. Several problems encoutered.

1)  How to make eclipse support glib building.

$ sudo apt-get install glib2-*

eclipse -> project -> Properties -> Settings

Using below command to get include/lib path

$ pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0 
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include

$ pkg-config --libs glib-2.0 
-lglib-2.0

2)  Source code example

#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <linux/sockios.h>
#include <linux/netdevice.h>

#include <glib.h>


#define G_LOG_DOMAIN    ((gchar*) 0)

static void _dummy(const gchar *log_domain,
                     GLogLevelFlags log_level,
                     const gchar *message,
                     gpointer user_data )

{
  /* Dummy does nothing */
  return ;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

    /* Set dummy for all levels */
    g_log_set_handler(G_LOG_DOMAIN, G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK, _dummy, NULL);

#if 1
    /* Set default handler based on argument for appropriate log level */
    if ( argc > 1)
    {
         /* If -vv passed set to ONLY debug */
         if(!strncmp("-vv", argv[1], 3))
         {
            g_log_set_handler(G_LOG_DOMAIN, G_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG,  g_log_default_handler, NULL);
         }
         /* If -v passed set to ONLY info */
         else if(!strncmp("-v", argv[1], 2))
         {
             g_log_set_handler(G_LOG_DOMAIN, G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO, g_log_default_handler, NULL);
         }
        /* For everything else, set to back to default*/
         else
         {
              g_log_set_handler(G_LOG_DOMAIN, G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK, g_log_default_handler, NULL);
         }

    }
    //else /* If no arguments then set to ONLY warning & critical levels */
    //{
    //    g_log_set_handler(G_LOG_DOMAIN, G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING| G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL, g_log_default_handler, NULL);
    //}
#else
    //g_log_set_handler(G_LOG_DOMAIN, G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING| G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL, g_log_default_handler, NULL);
#endif

    g_warning("This is warning\n");
    g_message("This is message\n");
    g_debug("This is debug\n");
    g_critical("This is critical\n");
    g_log(NULL, G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO , "This is info\n");
    return 0;
}

$ gcc -g -o g_log_x64 g_log.c -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -lglib-2.0

$ export G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

$ ./g_log_x64 -v
** INFO: This is info

$ ./g_log_x64 -vv
** (process:8573): DEBUG: This is debug

$ ./g_log_x64 -d


** (process:8574): WARNING **: This is warning


** Message: This is message


** (process:8574): DEBUG: This is debug




** (process:8574): CRITICAL **: This is critical


** INFO: This is info

If we have to use sudo to execute the process, 

$ sudo ./g_log_x64 -vv
[sudo] password for xxx:

Nothing outputed !!! 

This is to say, we have to keep the export when using sudo: 

$ sudo -E bash -c './g_log_x64 -vv'
** (process:8581): DEBUG: This is debug
