I've followed the instructions on the GDB wiki to install the python pretty-printers for viewing STL containers. My ~/.gdbinit
now looks like this:
python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/opt/gdb_prettyprint/python')
from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers
register_libstdcxx_printers (None)
end
However, when I run GDB and attempt to print an STL type, I get the following:
print myString
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No type named std::basic_string<char>::_Rep.:
$3 =
Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, which comes with GDB 7.4.
You can try with below GDB macro (append it to your ~/.gdbinit file) to print STL containter types data and even their data members: https://gist.github.com/3978082
