Eclipse integration
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
Just want to say that eclipse is great and the integration works fine,
but I find there are some things missing.
1) In the debugger, you can not see the contents of qstrings(or other qt
structures). I don't know of any IDE which can do this for all Qt types.
Using the KDE scripts for gdb I can see the contents, but it really is
cumbersome to type those gdb commands. Maybe there should be an option
in the debugger to execute the gdb command "print" followed by the type
and then the variable. So that if you have a gdb script to print a
QString called "printQString" that the debugger executes this
automatically and checks the output.
2) You can not change the order of the linked libraries in the .pro
editor(when editing LIBS for example, there is no move up/move down button).
3) The .pro editor is sometimes very slow when you click on a variable
type. Sometimes, don't know when it happens, but it can happen.
Anyway, I'm just giving my opinion.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Tom,

This might be supported in future gdb, they're currently trying to get
support for python scripting in and that would allow to easily write a
python script that returns the proper value for the QString type (or any
other type).
