gdb pretty printer: python2 vs python3

[jazztickets]

So codelite ships with a python2 pretty printer. The gdb that ships with ubuntu 13.10 and probably most newer distros ships with gdb compiled with python3 support. This means you'll get syntax errors like

Code: Select all

DEBUG>>&"  File \"<string>\", line 3, in <module>\n"
DEBUG>>&"  File \"~/.codelite/gdb_printers/libstdcxx/v6/printers.py\", line 279\n"
DEBUG>>&"    raise ValueError, \"Top of tuple tree does not consist of a single node.\"\n"
DEBUG>>&"                    ^\n"
DEBUG>>&"SyntaxError: invalid syntax\n"
DEBUG>>&"Error while executing Python code.\n"
DEBUG>>^error,msg="Error while executing Python code."

the syntax for raise has changed in python3 http://docs.pythonsprints.com/python3_p ... exceptions

So my question is, what setup is eranif using?

I mean, what version of python is your gdb using?

if you run gdb from the terminal, then type

Code: Select all

python print "hey"

you would get a syntax error if gdb is compiled with python3

The official ubuntu one installed on my machine is version 7.6.1 which indeed produces an error, however, I am using a self compiled gdb with python support enabled
which does not produce an error, but instead prints "hey"

Gotcha. Well, i put a issue report in. Converting those .py files to version 3 should work with both versions of python.
