RE: [cdt-dev] Possible to use the qtc-debugging-helper (Either DSF/CDI)
|
If you use gdb, you might want to check the python pretty printers being supported by gdb 7.0 and later.
It effectively means to translate your qtc-debugging-helper library to python pretty printers, but this might be valuable anyway.
Both gdb integrations (DSF GDB would require the upcoming CDT 7.0) have basic support for the pretty printers. Basic support means the info provided by the pretty printers appears in the details pane of variables and expressions view. But the children and variables are not the ones provided by the pretty printers.
I'm working on fully enabling them in the variables and expressions view (bug302121). That, however, will only work in DSF GDB.
Jens.
