Pretty printers std::shared_ptr
« on: March 16, 2021, 05:41:29 pm »
With GDB I want to watch std::shared_ptr<T>::get() result.

To do that i have try to setup the pretty printers.

I have follow some links:
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=23590.0
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Pretty_Printers

And to do that i have quiclky copy past the python command from codelite (it's work with codelite)
Code
python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/gandi/.codelite/gdb_printers')

from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers
register_libstdcxx_printers (None)

from qt4 import register_qt4_printers
register_qt4_printers (None)

from wx import register_wx_printers
register_wx_printers (None)

end

It doesn't work CB report an error from python code.

I have modify the ${HOME}/.gdbinit  file:
Code
python 
import sys

sys.path.append('blabla/.config/Epic/GDBPrinters/')
from UE4Printers import register_ue4_printers
register_ue4_printers(None)
print("Registered pretty printers for UE4 classes")

# sys.path.append('/blabla/gcc/libstdc++-v3/python')
import libstdcxx
from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers
register_libstdcxx_printers (None)
print("Enregistrement des «belles écritures» pour libstdc++.")

end


In a terminal i test the gdb app and the python code work:
Code
$ gdb

I try this new python code inside codeblocks (Debugger settings)
Same result:
Code
Debugger name and version: GNU gdb (GDB) 10.1-5.mga8 (Mageia release 8)
Error while executing Python code.

Here my small code to test the GDB  watcher.
Code
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <memory>


struct Node
{
    std::string m_Toto;
};

typedef std::shared_ptr<Node> NodePtr;

int main()
{
    printf("Hello World");
   
    NodePtr toto{new Node{"Toto"}};
   
    std::cout << toto->m_Toto << std::endl;
   

    return 0;
}

Ok If i turn on the option : «Disable startup scripts (-nx) (GDB only) then the python code compiles fine.

But it doens't change the watcher result. I can't watch the result of  std::shared_ptr<T>::get()

Try watching *toto

I wish it would be possible to expand the pointer without dereferencing it, but last time i tried the above worked:

After python code I add the command «enable pretty-printer» but nothing has change.
From cb console:
Code
[debug]>>>>>>cb_gdb:0 printers enabled
[debug]> directory /blabla/Test_gdb/Tes_gdb/
[debug]172 of 172 printers enabled

In a terminal:

Code
$gdb
(gdb) help all
(gdb) enable pretty-printer -- GDB command to enable the specified pretty-printer.
(gdb) enable pretty-printer
0 printers enabled
172 of 172 printers enabled
