nested watches don't get cleared

[BlueHazzard]

Hi,
if you restart a debugging session the watches for nested variables don't get deleted, you can see it in the screenshot.

i think latest svn and Windows 7 but i think this doesn't matter



greetings

[oBFusCATed]

Simple source and steps to reproduce please!

[BlueHazzard]

i try to reproduce the bug, but it is not simple to recreate a small project with the same conditions...

anyway i have found a other bug:

Code Select Expand


#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;


struct test_1
{
   int k;
   vector<int> vec;
   int e;
};

struct test_2
{
   int a;
   test_1 mm;
   int b;
};

int main()
{
   cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
   test_2* tt = new test_2;
   tt->b = 10;
   cout << tt->b;
   tt->mm.vec.push_back(22);
   tt->mm.vec.push_back(33);
   tt->mm.vec.push_back(44);
   tt->mm.vec.push_back(55);
   delete tt;
   return 0;
}


if you add a watch for *tt and add a breakpoint in the line with cout << tt->b; i don't get any output in the watches. If i make a step, the output works. You have to restart the debugger to get the first breakpoint in this line. so exact steps:
1) Add breakpoint at the line "cout << tt->b;"
2) run debugger
3) if debugger stops add watch for "*tt"
4) Stop debugger
5) Start debugger

It seems that the output has gotten out-of-sync. Can you post the full log?
What versions of c::b, gdb, gcc are you using?

I cannot reproduce the problem on linux with gdb 7.7-r1!

c::b svn 9636

the "catch catch" in the options seems to make some trouble or?

[oBFusCATed]

I'll bet on these:

Code Select Expand


python
import sys
import gdb
import wx
sys.path.insert(0, 'C:\MinGW\share\gcc-4.7.1\python')
from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers
register_libstdcxx_printers (None)
end
set print pretty 1

It is better to put them in a file and then use the source command to execute it.

[BlueHazzard]

i putted it now in a seperate file, and the parsing error still exists:

what is about the mi interface? Are there any plans for future work?

[oBFusCATed]

Can you try an official build of gdb also can you try without python printers?

About gdb/mi I've no time to work on this plugin at the moment.
