QString: No DisplayString and StringView view on Mac #44

Open gordody opened 3 years ago

gordody commented 3 years ago

I'm not getting the DisplayString nor the StringView in my Watch window, only a {...} using both the default and the one from MS. The "size" and "referenced" show up on expansion.

Both

The default one and which other one?

gordody commented 3 years ago

The other one is the Microsoft one you link to in the docs.

Also struggling with this on Linux. Hovering over the variable in the editor shows me:

[Visualized View]:Explicit refresh required for visualized expressions

In debug panel all that shows is the size:

Same problem like @Merrit on GNU/Linux with QT5. Visualizer file from https://github.com/aambrosano/qt-natvis/blob/master/qt5.natvis.xml

anything new here? having the same issue unfortunately

reporter123 commented 6 months ago

This extension when installed on my setup refused to let me change the natvis setting. If I tried the change automatically reset to the extensions built-in and very limited one Only removing the extension entirely resolved the string display issue because that's the only way I could get back to the Microsoft one or in my case remove the natvis setting entirely.

tonka3000 commented 6 months ago

@reporter123 You can set qttools.injectNatvisFile to false to disable the auto-injection like mentioned in the readme.

Which Microsoft natvis file do you refer to which contains a QString?

Merrit commented 6 months ago

I don't know about Mac, but on Linux setting up pretty printers helped me to enable variable visualization:

reporter123 commented 6 months ago

@tonka3000 I maybe a little confused there. I do remember looking your natvis file however and trying figure out what was causing the display issue. I maybe thinking of something else. Thanks for pointing out the setting as well. @Merrit GDB on linux has pretty printers that can be used as a replacement. lldb default on MacOS doesn't have any maintained equivalent although it is technically possible to write them.

I can confirm that in Linux, even with the official qt6.natvis.xml, the QString visualization does not work. I made an mr with clarifications regarding natvis: #95
