Cannot debug variable value in anjuta IDE using gdb
I'm trying to debug local variables values of a C++ project using Anjuta IDE, but all I'm getting is {...} instead of the actual values. See for example the next picture and what happens with the buf and buf1 variables (with all of them actually...):
I've looked into pretty printers, but that seems to be for more complex objects and structures. My variables are simply std::string and I guess they should be displaying their values without much more trouble.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Although I've moved from anjuta to Eclipse CDT, I think this had nothing to do with anjuta itself, but with a problem in gdb configuration due to a known bug that prevents pretty printers from working.
There seems to be a couple of workarounds. The one I've successfully tried is:
- Create a ~/.gdbinit file to be used when running gdb.
- Add
python sys.path.append("/usr/share/gcc-4.8/python");to it
See Ubuntu 14.04, gcc 4.8.4: gdb pretty printing doesn't work because of Python issue for more info.
