Unsolved How to create debugging helpers on Windows
-
Hello,
I'm using QtCreator to contribute to the Godot Engine project, however because this project defines its own container types (Vector, List, HashMap etc) it's impossible to see what's in them.
I found it was possible to write cross-platform debugging helpers in Python as described here: http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debugging-helpers.html
And I wrote this first test code for the Vector<T> type:# Just for testing, kind of hello world def qdump__Vector(d, value): d.putItemCount(42)
However, nothing works for me so far.
I tried setting up the "Extra Debugging Helpers" in GDB, nothing happened (I didn't see any option in CDB, though the doc says it's supported).
I tried putting my helpers Python file inQt\Tools\QtCreator\share\qtcreator\debugger
, nothing happened.
I even tried modifying an existing file;creatortypes.py
to add my code, nothing happened either.
I don't even know if an error occurred.I'm lost about how to set this up and develop my helpers. Anyone knows how I should proceed to get started?
I'm using QtCreator 4.0.3 on Windows.

@Zylann I think you should ask on QtCreator developers mailing list as those developers there should know better how to write plug-ins.

What is the mainling list? I had a look at http://lists.qt-project.org/ but it looks like it's down.
