Re: [cdt-dev] Pretty Printing STL Container in debugger
Do you mean this bug: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12668 ? It is fixed on HEAD and should be available in gdb7.4. Moreover, there is a small patch there that hacks the problem.

Hi Lukas,

Most likely your debug launch does not use DSF, but CDI. This can be switched in the launch configuration. In the launch configuration dialog, select your configuration. At the bottom it must say "Using GDB (DSF) ..."

Please also note that there is an ugly bug in gdb for strings. There is no fix for it available in gdb yet. However, you can put a workaround into your pretty printers: In StdStringPrinter#to_string, insert the following code right behing the line the calculates len

         if len>  100:
             len = 100

This will clip the maximum length of a string and gdb will not commit suicide on uninitialized strings.

I'll update the wiki.

Greetings, Jens.

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

Hi,

I just tried to "see" contents of stl containers in the cdt debugger
(using gdb). I used the instructions from
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ#How_can_I_inspect_the_contents_of_STL
_containers.3F

To some the lower part of the Variables view I can now see container
content (e.g. "std::vector of length 3, capacity 4 = {2, 12, 0}").
However, in the upper part, I cannot expand the vector to see its three
child elements as shown in the second picture in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ#How_can_I_inspect_the_contents_of_STL
_containers.3F

I'm using CDT 8.0 and gdb 7.3-2011.08.

Is this a cdt bug or is there something wrong with my setup or the
description at above link?


Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

Lukas
