debugger_gdbmi pretty printing

[Pecan]

The patch produced the same results as before. I have to click the little '+' sign to see the string.

I guess this is the reason - the source commands for loading the pretty printers are executed before the enable command for pretty printing.
I'll move it before them. In the mean time you can try to put '-enable-pretty-printing' before the two source commands in the initial commands.

Edit: I've committed both changes.

Using the debugger branch (not gdbmi) and carefully specifying the gdb directory, I get the following with pretty printing. It looks very much like the output of the gdbmi plugin (except without so many '+'s .



Looks ok to me. What are we supposed to be looking for?
Now I'll do the same with gdbmi.

Edit: Here's the gdbmi output (also the debugger branch)


I don't see a problem. But I don't know what I'm supposed to see either.

Both default debugging and gdbmi debugging report that no python scripting is supported in this gdb (7.4 windows)

Code

debug]> source C:\Usr\MinGW431\bin\stl.gdb
source C:\Usr\MinGW431\bin\wx.gdb
[debug]C:\Usr\MinGW431\bin\stl.gdb:6: Error in sourced command file:
[debug]Python scripting is not supported in this copy of GDB.
[debug]C:\Usr\MinGW431\bin\wx.gdb:6: Error in sourced command file:
[debug]Python scripting is not supported in this copy of GDB.
[debug]>>>>>>cb_gdb:>>>>>>cb_gdb:

So... looks like pretty printing is not supported in windows gdb 7.4
At least it's not supported in any gdb I could find.

This is the only gdb 7.4 that I could find for windows.

Code

@pecan: For gdb 7.4
Either python enabled gdb(gdb-python27.exe) and traditional gdb(gdb.exe) can be found in:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Extension/gdb/GDB-7.4/

BTW: I have gdb CVS build(newer than gdb 7.4)
You can also try my personal build gdb, which is python enabled.

Pecan:
What you should expect is to see something like this  '|msg |"msg value"|wxString|' in the watches or in the value tooltips.
If you see the guts of the object, then pretty printers doesn't work.

@Pecan: make sure that you selected correct debugger settings at: Settings->Compiler->Toolchain executables->Debugger.
And use gdb-python27.exe (its also included in tdm gcc) instead of gdb.exe.
