[Solved] LLDB on 7.0 cannot see string values in debugger

[DavidGH]

Hi,

OK, so these are connected. If I go into LLDB settings -> Types, I see:
type summary add wxString --summary-string "${var.m_impl._M_dataplus._M_p}"
But if I look at the lldb docs, they kinda suggest something more like this:
type summary add std::string --summary-string "${var%S}"

wxString is different, and needs that extra ugliness. What happens if you try a std::string and use the lldb-suggested method?

15:43:40: Error: can't open file '/home/abe/.codelite/config/lldb.conf' (error 2: No such file or directory)

I presume that lldb.conf has sane permissions, and CodeLite is running in the same partition as it?
Apart from that, I'm afraid I don't have any ideas. You really need another Arch user's input.

In the mean time, I need to learn command line debugging anyway..

Heh. There's also gdb, of course.

Regards,

David

Same error.

I noticed if I compiled with anything other than -O0, even with -g, variables wouldn't show up. So, I'm wondering if clang++ isn't producing fully debugable binaries?

lldb.conf problem is resolved. Editing LLDB config created the file with various settings.

Haven't tried command line LLDB yet...

THanks for the feedback.

[SOLVED]

Added '-fstandalone-debug' to clang++ compile options. I can now see string values. (Using codelite 7.1 from git on this date.)

Hopefully that helps others as well.

Thanks for the help.
