debugger_gdbmi pretty printing

(1/5) > >>

Pecan:
I'm having a problem displaying wxStrings with the debugger_gdbmi plugin.

I've installed pretty printing according to http://code.google.com/p/qp-gcc/wiki/GDB#Load_the_python_script_when_Debugger_started_in_Codeblocks
This appears to work ok for the debugger branch of CB.

But for the debugger_gdbmi plugin:
When I put a breakpoint on the line "wxMessageBox..."

--- Code: ---void TestppDialog::OnAbout(wxCommandEvent &event)
{
    wxString msg = wxbuildinfo(long_f);
    wxMessageBox(msg, _("Welcome to..."));

--- End code ---

Then hover over msg, I get the response "msg {...} wxString".

Whereas with the debugger branch of CB, I get: msg "wxWidgets 2.8.10-Windows-Unicode build" wxString

debugger_gdbmi output:

Can you try with gdb-7.4, but I guess I'm not handling this case correctly.

Also I doubt the pretty printers work for wxString in 2.8, they are made for 2.9+, but I may be wrong.
Does it work for std::string? Because I think, I've tried it and it worked.

If I remember correctly, wxWidgets 2.8.x and wx2.9+ need different python pretty printers (at least for wxString). See:
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,15050.msg100720.html#msg100720

I don't have c::b at hand right now, so I can not do any test.

Pretty printing does work with wx 2.8 in the debugger branch.

debugger_gdmi also does *not* display a std string:

I'll see if I can find a gdb 7.4 for windows 7. If you have a link I'd appreciate it.

Pecan:
Here's a screen shot with wx 2.8 and the debugger branch of CB using pretty printers.

so, it seems to me, that wx2.8 is not the problem.
