no data visible

I installed the plugin on Linux (Kubuntu 23.10) with clion CLion 2023.3.4, bundled gdb 13.2, Qt 6.4.2, and tested with the example program given in your repository. But no data is visible. Are there any further settings or dependencies?

Please try a different version of Qt.

There are problematic Qt versions, for which the debugger is unable to extract type metadata. I am aware of 6.2.4, but there may be further ones as well.

You can use the GDB console to make a quick check if a specific version includes type metainfo by setting a breakpoint and running the command:

python print(gdb.parse_and_eval('*(&qtHookData)'))

For examlpe, "good" 6.6.1 gives the output:

And the 6.4.2 gives:

With 6.6.1 i get the same result

Do you have Debug information files installed?

[reybeamde]

yes sorry, i forgot to download the debug info files for 6.6.1.

It's working now. Thanks a lot for your help and the great plugin :)

In Arch Linux (Qt 6.6.2 currently), I also had "no debug info" message:

(gdb) python print(gdb.parse_and_eval('*(&qtHookData)'))
<data variable, no debug info>

Probably worth mentioning this in the project Readme.

Installing the qt6-base-debug package helped. Install manually (by specifying the url), or by enabling global repo. See wiki.

sudo pacman -U https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra-debug/os/x86_64/qt6-base-debug-6.6.2-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Now the message is good:

(gdb) python print(gdb.parse_and_eval('*(&qtHookData)'))
{3, 7, 394754, 0, 0, 0, 22}
