NAME

frameserver_debugstall - change the global delay before a frameserver executes

SYNOPSIS

nil
frameserver_debugstall( time )

DESCRIPTION

This function is only exposed in debug builds of the engine where it can be assumed other relevant instrumentation is in place. It changes the inherited environment variable ARCAN_FRAMESERVER_DEBUGSTALL =time (where time is >= 0, 0 clears) that controls how long newly spawned frameservers should delay before continuing execution. This is to allow the developer to attach to the process at a safe spot in order to set breakpoints or control stepping.

EXAMPLE

function frameserver_debugstall0()


      if (frameserver_debugstall) then


            frameserver_debugstall(10);


            launch_avfeed();


      end
end
