Qtcreator debugging helper for specialized string object breaks on expand

[QPrashanth]

I wrote a qtcreator debugger helper for our home brewed string library.

def qdump__mystring(d, value):
  length = int(value["slen"])

  d.check(0 <= length and length <= 100000000)
  p = value["sdata"]
  d.putCharArrayHelper(p, length, d.createType('wchar_t'), 'utf8')
  d.putType("mystring*")

Works well,

Until I expand them

I tried several things but nothing worked.

The "mystring" declaration in c-code looks something like this,

struct mystring
{
    uint slen;
    uchar *sdata;
    // ... 
}

As far as I know the strings are utf8. How do I solve this issue.
I was looking at a way to iterate over the individual characters and knit together a string.

Thanks for your attention and efforts. Many regards.

Hi @QPrashanth,

I think it's best to ask this questions on the Qt Creator mailing list. You have higher chances to get an answer there, as the debugging helpers are a very special topic.
