Hello: Is is possible that boost have gdb pretty prints??.. It's works great with std objects, it will be awesome if boost have it too!! Salu2... masch...

Not that I know of. There are some for visual studio https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/DebuggerVisualizers
It's works great with std objects, it will be awesome if boost have it too!!
It seems like a useful feature. Would you be willing to write some? In Christ, Steven Watanabe
eheh... I do not know enough to write pretty prints, it's will be help if there are some example that other can continue, Do you know if exist some pretty print boost exampless? Salu2.. masch... On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 4:40 PM, Steven Watanabe <watanabesj@gmail.com>wrote:

It's nothing specific to boost, you just have to learn the GDB macro language. One of the difficulties in writing GDB pretty prints is that, unlike with Visual Studio debug visualizers, GDB pretty printing does not happen "automatically". You have to write a special command for every single type you want to pretty print. "printboostvariant", "printboostany", "printboostfspath", etc. It's a little bit annoying for sure. You can get around this even by writing a GDB plugin. To learn the GDB macro syntax just google for "gdb macro syntax". Additionally, you can refer to this page: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/GDB-Commands.html#STLDEREF which, specifically contains this .gdbinit file (which is where you add macros) http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/src/dbinit_stl_views-1.03.txt that contains many examples of pretty printing STL containers. If you want to write a GDB plugin, there is not as much available info, but you can refer to this page: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-05/msg00671.html in which someone submitted a plugin for GDB to automatically display correctly STL types just by using the normal "print" statement.

I guess much of confusion has resulted from the fact that Mario did not say what exactly he is talking about. The GDB pretty-printers he mention have nothing to do with that inadequate-for-anything GDB macro language. These are Python pretty-printers. See: http://tromey.com/blog/?p=524 These are also documented in the development version of the GDB.

That specific patch did not went further, since Python support was already in development. - Volodya
Sorry, yes I was referring the pretty print that Volodya said. So Is it possible to start with some libraries??? Salu2... masch... On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 12:42 PM, Vladimir Prus <vladimir@codesourcery.com>wrote:

Just look at the ones in libstdc++. They look fairly obvious; you just need to know the internal names for the data structures in question. I don't think you really need a boost-specific example. -tom
