LibCXX Widget Toolkit uses LibCXX's application properties for some of its internal configuration. Properties are individual configuration settings that control some runtime behavior. A brief overview follows, see LibCXX's documentation for more information.
There are several ways to temporarily set individual properties for
debugging purposes. The direct way is to just set them in
main():
#include <x/property_value.H> int main() { x::property::load_property("x::w::disable_grab", "true", true, true); // ... }
Alternatively, properties can be placed in a separate file.
If the binary executable is helloworld, LibCXX
checks if helloworld.properties exists in the
same directory and loads it:
x::w::disable_grab=true
libtool creates a shell script wrapper when
linking an executable with a shared library from the same build
tree.
helloworld.properties gets ignored in that
case because helloworld is a wrapper script
that sets up a temporary link path and loads the real binary
from the .libs subdirectory.
A temporary static link build is one option in that situation.
The PROPERTIES environment variable overrides the
default filename.properties properties file
location; or the properties command can be used
to embed the properties file path into the executable.
See properties(1) for more information.
