            Bug ID: 177459
           Summary: [CMake] ENABLE(DEVELOPER_MODE) should enable logging
                    support for Release builds.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: clopez at igalia.com

Currently if one wants to enable WebKit logging support it has to use Debug builds or pass manually the flag with something like CXXFLAGS="-DLOG_DISABLED=0"

Its actually documented here: https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/Debugging#Loggingsupport


For debug builds, logging is enabled at build-time but disabled by default at run-time.
To enable it at run-time the environment variable WEBKIT_DEBUG should be set to the right value

And for release builds I think it makes sense to do the same when ENABLE(DEVELOPER_MODE) is set (enable it at build-time).


Its bit of a pain not being able to have logging support in release development builds.
