I had this idea a long time ago but never wrote it down. It should be easy to write a small .c program linked to the library that can load these structures from their files and dump their contents to stdout. This would help in debugging trickier issues.

or we can use the Eet library which is for such purpose. See : https://build.enlightenment.org/job/nightly_efl_gcc_x86_64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/doc/html/eet_main.html

I remember more about how these work now. There is one extra piece of information that is not currently saved, and that is the master itpdata structure and the context structure. This could be written to the dump file.

and what do you think about Eet ?
