Re: [cdt-dev] Pretty Printing STL Container in debugger

[xgsa <xgsa@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can try to look how it works in gdb from command line (just set a 
break after your vector is filled and make print command). If it works 
fine you should check your Eclipse settings (for example, "C/C++ --> 
Debug --> GDB --> Enable pretty printers in variable/expression tree" 
setting or check that you set up right .gdbinit file in your debug 
configuration). If gdb does not print your vector too, check your pretty 
printers (maybe they are incompatible with your version of STL) and 
their setup in .gdbinit.

And one more note: if you use STLPorts instead of standard STL you need 
a special version of pretty printers for it.
