Work on wldbg was announced this week, a tool for debugging applications running on Wayland.

Wldbg supports a few different modes of operation from taking a list of modules and running functions on those modules for each message going through the Wayland function, there's also a GDB-like interface for debugging Wayland clients, and there's also a server mode for overtaking the bound socket and accepting all new connections.

Wldbg is still in the early stages of development for helping to debug Wayland clients, but developers wishing to learn more can find details via the mailing list announcement and the code is hosted on GitHub.
