Hi, i try to debug some wxWidgets code and get a parsing error.
Debugger output:
[debug]> output *str
[debug]{<wxStringBase> = {static npos = 4294967295, m_pchData = 0x75225a4 L'/' <repeats 43 times>, "\\n//\\n", '/' <repeats 43 times>}, <No data fields>}>>>>>>cb_gdb:
as output in the watch window i get:
*str | Parsing GDB output failed for '*str'!
+ <wxStringBase> |
npos | 4294967295
greetings
minimal example to reproduce:
wxString tmp = _T("///////////////////////////////\\n// \\n/////////////////////////");
If you use the GDB pretty printer for wx, it will just print the string content.It is just an workaround of this issue.
I don't know why, but my pretty printers are not working... I think i have messed somehow wx2.9(3.0) printers and wx2.8 printers. They are registered, but not working
class wxStringPrinter:
def __init__(self, val):
self.val = val
def to_string(self):
try:
return self.val['m_pchData']
except:
return self.val['m_impl']['_M_dataplus']['_M_p']
def display_hint(self):
return 'string'

This is what I used pretty printer for wxString:
class wxStringPrinter:
def __init__(self, val):
self.val = val
def to_string(self):
ret = ""
wx29 = 0
try:
# wx-28 has m_pchData
self.val['m_pchData']
except Exception:
wx29 = 1
try:
if wx29:
# return "wx29+ string"
dataAsCharPointer = self.val['m_impl']['_M_dataplus']['_M_p']
else:
dataAsCharPointer = self.val['m_pchData']
# return "wx28 string"
ret = dataAsCharPointer
except Exception:
# swallow the exception and return empty string
pass
return ret
def display_hint (self):
return 'wxString'
It works fine for both wx 2.8 and wx 3.x. :)
