This page contains detailed description of "Better Debugging Environment" project for Google Summer of Code.
Summary
The goal of this project is to create more user-friendly debugging environment. This includes (but hopefully is not limited to):
- Default formatter for STL container types (map, vector, queue, priority_queue, ...)
- Default formatter for user structures.
- Support for custom formatters.
- Viewing variable content by simply hovering mouse over it.
- Fixing usability issues (see below).
Detailed Project Description
This projects is intended to make debugging with CDT at least as comfortable as with Microsoft Visual Studio.
One of main parts of this project is to provide users with more readable representation of their data.
For example, when user watches on a vector<int> variable he/she expects to see not details of internal implementation of vector, but its contents:
vector<int> v; for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) v.push_back(i);
should display value of v as {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.
Displaying an object as a human-readable string will be done via Formatters.
Successful completion of this project will implement default at least following formatters:
- Basic STL containers
- vector<T> will be displayed as
