Debugging into a struct containing pointers
« on: March 06, 2015, 02:41:13 am »
Hi.

I recently started to use codeblocks and while debugging i'm not really sure how to display what is on the adress when into a struct containing a  pointer.

Here is my watch and struct - http://postimg.org/image/62ii13ixr/

Dereferencing pointers in structs is not supported.
You'll have to dereference them yourself.

Yes, but it requires full reimplementation of the debugger plugin.
I've started it, but I have other higher priority issues I want to solve first.

I think the best method to solve this issue is to create a custom gdb pretty printer for this struct.

If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.
