[gentoo-user] [OFF TOPIC] Qt Creator unable to access containers in debug mode

2015-03-24 Thread Francisco Ares 
Hi,

Recently - but can't figure out exactly when - Qt Creator has become unable
to access Qt containers (where the STL ones work as expected) on the debug
panel.  It shows not accessible in place of the expected item quantity
for a QList, for instance, but for a std::vectorstd::string, it works,
allowing inspection of all items.

Any hints on what I may be doing wrong? The headers are all accessible, for
instance. Should I build Qt with debug symbols enabled, as recommended for
glibc?

Using current Qt 4.8.5, Qt Creator 2.8.1, gdb 7.7.1, gcc 4.8.3

Thanks!
Francisco

Try to print it from gdb cli, if it works you'll know the issue QtCreator, 
otherwise you're likely missing some symbols. You should always compile any 
development libraries with debug symbols.
