I am interested in porting some functionality from the QtCreator Debugger into another environment, specifically the ability of QtCreator's debugger front end to display a reasonable value for things like QString and such. I understand that the first thing is that my code needs to link against the qtc-debugging-helper library. I took a look at some of that code and it seems straight forward enough. I even started digging into QtCreators gdb front end code (plugins/debugger/gdbengine.cpp) to try and figure out exactly what is going on but no such luck. I am a completely 'wet behind the ears' when it comes to directly interfacing with gdb. I have used gdb on a command line a few times in the past but not enough so that I am any sort of guru or even really know what is going on. I guess what I am looking for is a basic sequence of events that describes how to get the "value" from the actual debugger into the Gui. So when the user looks down at the "local variables" area and sees a QString variable and it has "Hello World" as its value, how did "Hello World" end up there.
Thanks to anyone for help Mike Jackson _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
