About This Tool

The tool analyzes a GTK-based application by constructing a structural model of the UI subsystem from runtime data and static references. It identifies the widget hierarchy, the signals that connect widgets to handlers, and the dependencies between UI components. This model is useful for developers, QA engineers, and toolsmiths who need reproducible views of GTK architectures.
It operates in a multi-field workflow, requiring inputs such as the target process id or binary path, GTK version, platform, and the inspection scope. It then traverses the object tree, records signals, and outputs in JSON with sections widget_tree, signal_map, and optional call_graph.
The tool provides unique value by being non-intrusive, exporting to JSON or YAML, and supporting cross-version GTK; it helps identify performance hotspots, miswiring, and brittle UI paths. Typical use cases include debugging complex dialogs, validating dynamic UI generation, and verifying signal lifetimes; outputs are actionable for integration into CI pipelines and downstream tooling.

How to Use

Provide inputs: target process_id or binary_path, gtk_version, platform, and inspect_scope.
Run the analysis to build the GTK architecture model.
Review outputs including widget_tree, signal_map, and optional call_graph.
Export results as JSON or YAML and integrate into your debugging workflow.
Use the model to identify mismatches, missing signals, or unstable UI paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is GTK Inspector Arch used for?

GTK Inspector Arch is a developer-oriented analysis tool that builds a formal model of a GTK application's UI architecture, exposing the widget tree, signal wiring, and runtime dependencies to support debugging, optimization, and architectural validation.

What inputs are required?

Inputs include the target process_id or binary_path, gtk_version, platform, inspect_scope, and optional flags. The tool validates the presence and format of each input and provides diagnostics if any required field is missing or mismatched.

What outputs are produced?

Outputs consist of a widget_tree JSON, a signal_map, an optional call_graph, and a logs stream. These can be exported to JSON or YAML for downstream tooling and CI pipelines, enabling reproducible analysis across environments.

Is it safe for production apps?

The analysis is non-intrusive and reads runtime data without modifying code or state. For production usage, run in a controlled environment or on a snapshot of the app to avoid affecting active sessions.
