[cdt-debug-dev] Debugging Qt types in Eclipse

["Patrick Noffke" <Patrick.Noffke@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

There was a request in 2004 about debugging Qt (and other, e.g. STL) types in Eclipse.  This post shows a gdb macro for displaying the contents of a QString:

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.cdt/msg05723.html

Just wondering if this feature has been considered, or if there's another way to customize how variables are displayed in the debugger?  I've tried the "Cast to Type ..." feature to cast the QString array as a char, but I have to do that manually for every character of the string (it's an array of 16-bit unsigned ints).  Of course if the string contains characters outside the ASCII range, the cast to a char woudn't make sense, so perhaps there's a better way to display Unicode text.
