Writing tests' output to a log file makes them difficult to debug when the test might be running on an autobuilder or CI system where only stdout/stderr are recorded. This is particularly troublesome if a failure is only reproducible on a particular autobuilder. Recent Automake versions have the convention that detailed output from failing tests is written to stdout/stderr, not just to log files, when the VERBOSE environment variable is set; borrow that convention as a trigger for producing detailed test output. This was originally cogl!14, but applies equally to mutter's fork of cogl. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1273 Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general,
look at the file you're editing for inspiration.
