gdbbridge.py in native gdb fails

ryan0270

I'm trying to use the qtcreator extensions in native gdb. According to this page I should be able to just add the appropriate commands to my .gdbinit and I should have the "pp" command available. I do get that command but it always fails. For example, which a break at line 128 in the below it claims that "app" is undefined but it clearly is. I get the same error message for any variable I try to print.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

(gdb) list
123	    QApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_X11InitThreads);
124	#ifdef Q_OS_MAC
125	    QApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_UseHighDpiPixmaps);
126	#endif
127	    QApplication app(argc, argv);
128	    setGlobalFont(app); // BREAK IS HERE
129	
130	    QFile styleSheetFile(":/theme/rdsTheme.qs");
131	    if (styleSheetFile.open(QFile::ReadOnly))
132	    {
(gdb) pp app
Python Exception <class 'NameError'> name 'app' is not defined: 
Error occurred in Python command: name 'app' is not defined

For reference, here's my .gdbinit:

python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/me/Software/gdb_printers/python')
sys.path.insert(1, '/usr/share/qtcreator/debugger/')

from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers
register_libstdcxx_printers (None)

from gdbbridge import *

end
