Gdb Qt pretty printers

The recently released gdb 7.0 adds a really great feature: python scripting for pretty printers. It makes it really easy to write pretty printers for any class.
Basically it's the same as QtCreator supports, however with a few differences:
  • also works in plain gdb on commandline
  • no compiled debug-helper library needed
  • a gdb-only solution
Example showing a QStringList:

Of course everything can be combined, as seen here:

Currently supported classes are: QString, QByteArray, QList, QMap, QDate, QTime, QDateTime

The code can be found in KDevelop git (gdb plugin uses them by default). For using in cli you need the following in ~/.gdbinit:
python
import sys

sys.path.insert(0, '/home/niko/kdesvn/kde-git/kdevelop/debuggers/gdb/printers')
from qt4 import register_qt4_printers
register_qt4_printers (None)

end
set print pretty 1

Gdb also supports autoloading the pretty printers - they could be included in -dev packages. The merge request that would add it to qt is still pending.

And now I'm off watching an episode of dexter :D

  1. I've added support for KTExtEditor::Cursor & Range in the meantime. You'll have to use this as .gdbinit:

    ~~~~~~~~
    python
    import sys

    sys.path.insert(0, '/home/niko/kdesvn/kde-git/kdevelop/debuggers/gdb/printers')
    from qt4 import register_qt4_printers
    register_qt4_printers (None)

    from kde4 import register_kde4_printers
    register_kde4_printers (None)

    end
    set print pretty 1
    ~~~~~~~~

    Of course, don't forget to get kde4.py from svn.

  2. OOOOOO nice job ;). Too bad I never use GDB other than getting backtraces because I usually find my issues through there. Any syntax highlighting? ;þ And thank you guys. I love you <3

  3. Qt Creator uses python dumpers for a while now (basically since that feature became first available in GDB). Are you sharing code there or did you reimplement the whole thing?

    ReplyDelete
  4. @Anonymous:
    creator works completely different. They also don't work in plain gdb on the commandline.
    No codesharing happened, as creators are very different. Maybe nowadays it could be possible to borrow stuff...

    ReplyDelete
  5. Hmmm... creator works fine with my gdb from ubuntu, so it does not seem to need a customized GDB. The binary debugging helpers are no longer required either, so it seems to be all python now.

    ReplyDelete
  6. @Anonymous: You are right. Qt Creator always worked with the normal "machine interface" of gdb (FSF gdb on Linux and Window, Apple's branch on Mac). Until gdb's python scripting became available with gdb 6.8.50, a kind of "pretty printing" was available using the "compiled dumpers" Niko mentioned. This is nowadays replaced by a normal (gdb) python script on all platforms that have a python-enabled gdb (i.e. Linux, Windows, Symbian, but not on Mac which still has to use the compiled version).

    ReplyDelete
  7. Niko,

    Thanks for this!
    There's only one limitation, though: Qt can be built with a custom namespace and, because of how the matching is done on the class name, gdb won't pretty-print my Qt types.
    I could solve this by changing lines in 'build_dictionary' from something like:
    ---
    pretty_printers_dict[re.compile('^QQueue')] = lambda val: QListPrinter(val, 'QQueue', None)
    ---

    into
    ---
    pretty_printers_dict[re.compile('^([a-zA-Z0-9_]*::)?QQueue')] = lambda val: QListPrinter(val, 'QQueue', None)
    ---

    Best,
    Arnaud.

  80. Магазин спортивного питания, официальный сайт которого доступен по адресу: SportsNutrition-24.Com, реализует большой выбор товаров, которые принесут пользу и достижения как профессиональным спортсменам, так и любителям. Интернет-магазин производит свою деятельность многие годы, предоставляя клиентам со всей Рф качественное спортивное питание, а помимо этого витамины и особые препараты - https://sportsnutrition-24.com/sportivnyj-perekus/. Спортпит представляет собой категорию продуктов, которая призвана не только сделать лучше спортивные достижения, да и благоприятно влияет на здоровье организма. Подобное питание вводится в повседневный рацион с целью получения микро- и макроэлементов, витаминов, аминокислот и белков, а также прочих недостающих веществ. Не секрет, что организм спортсмена в процессе наращивания мышечной массы и адаптации к повышенным нагрузкам, остро нуждается в должном количестве полезных веществ. При этом, даже правильное питание и употребление растительной, а кроме этого животной пищи - не гарантирует того, что организм получил необходимые аминокислоты или белки. Чего нельзя сказать о высококачественном питании для спорта. Об наборе товаров Интернет-магазин "SportsNutrition-24.Com" продает качественную продукцию, которая прошла ряд проверок и получила сертификаты качества. Посетив магазин, клиенты могут найти себе товары из следующих категорий: - L-карнитинг (Л-карнитин) представляет собой вещество, родственное витамину B, синтез которого осуществляется в организме; - гейнеры, представляющие собой, белково-углеводные смеси; - BCAA - средства, содержащие в собственном составе три важнейшие аминокислоты, стимулирующие рост мышечной массы; - протеин - чистый белок, употреблять который можно в виде коктейлей; - разнообразные аминокислоты; - а помимо этого ряд других товаров (нитробустеры, жиросжигатели, особые препараты, хондропротекторы, бустеры гормона роста, тестобустеры и многое другое). Об оплате и доставке Интернет-магазин "SportsNutrition-24.Com" предлагает огромное разнообразие товаров, которое в полной мере способно удовлетворить профессиональных и начинающих атлетов, включая любителей. Большой опыт дозволил фирмы сделать связь с крупнейшими поставщиками и производителями спортивного питания, что позволило сделать ценовую политику гибкой, а цены - демократичными! К примеру, аминокислоты либо гейнер заказать можно по цене, которая на 10-20% ниже, чем у конкурентов. Оплата возможна как наличным, так и безналичным расчетом. Магазин предлагает обширный выбор способов оплаты, включая оплату различными электронными платежными системами, а помимо этого дебетовыми и кредитными картами. Главный офис компании расположен в Санкт-Петербурге, но доставка товаров осуществляется во все населенные пункты РФ. Помимо самовывоза, получить товар можно посредством любой транспортной компании, найти которую каждый клиент может в индивидуальном порядке.
