[Development] Qt5 Visual Studio Add-in 1.2.0 Beta

[Haataja Ismo]

Hello,

The idea was to get these working so that both Qt4 and Qt5 classes work. But this seems quite challenging, or should I say mission impossible with this 'autoexp.dat' approach the VS-addin uses. We need to think how to proceed with this issue.

Meanwhile, one can edit 'autoexp.dat' by hand to make things work. The file is located in  'Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger'.

Here is an example of how to get QString and QByteArray "pretty" :)

QString|*::QString{
    preview    ([(unsigned short*)$e.d + $e.d->offset/2,su])
    stringview ([(unsigned short*)$e.d + $e.d->offset/2,sub])
    children
    (
        #(
            d: $c.d,
            [size]: $c.d->size,
            [referenced]: $c.d->ref.atomic._q_value
        )
    )
}

QByteArray|*::QByteArray{
    preview    ([(char*)$e.d + $e.d->offset,s])
    stringview ([(char*)$e.d + $e.d->offset,sb])
    children
    (
        #(
            d: $c.d,
            [size]: $c.d->size,
            [referenced]: $c.d->ref._q_value
        )
    )
}

Just copy paste these over existing ones and debug watches should work. Or perhaps it is a good idea just to comment old ones away (using semicolon (;)) so it is easy to go back if Qt4 needs to work.

BR,
Ismo

Hi Ismo,

we noticed that the "pretty printers" for  the debugger are not updated
to the Qt5 Datatypes. So its not possible to introspect eg QString. Will
this happen somewhen?

Thank you

Andy
