[cdt-dev] Possible to use the qtc-debugging-helper (Either DSF/CDI)
|
I do a bunch of Qt programming and I prefer to use Eclipse CDT to
do my programming. The major hurdle that I have currently is trying to
debug Qt based code. Due to the design of the Qt classes when trying
to get the "value" of things like a QString gdb will just send back a
pointer address that isn't really helpful. With Qt-Creator the
engineers at Nokia have implemented the qtc-debugging-helper library
which your project can link against.
What I was wondering would be what type of code updates to CDT
(Either in CDI or DSF) would have to go into place in oder to
effectively use the code contained in the qtc-debugging-helper
library? Looking through the qtc-debugging-helper library it seems
there are "pretty-printers" for the Qt Classes which can then be piped
back to the IDE making the request to display more helpful values of a
class rather then the internal pointer.
I am motivated enough to start hacking in CDT to at least figure
out if this type of thing is even possible. Even better would be some
help from Nokia to point me in the right direction ;-) ***
Thanks

*** I know this is basically helping out a rival product (QtCreator vs
Eclipse CDT) but I think would still be seen as a Win-Win for all
parties.
