linux下GDB调试C++标准库STL，打印STL对象的内容

示例代码：

//============================================================================
// Name        : cpp.cpp
// Author      : weijl
// Version     :
// Copyright   : Your copyright notice
// Description : Hello World in C++, Ansi-style
//============================================================================
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <map>
using namespace std;

#define PI 3.1415926
const int WEEK= 7;
const string  NAME= "weijl";
static double SCORE= 99.0;

class CMyData
{
public:
	CMyData()
	{
		a = 0;
		str = string("weijl");
		c = 65;
	}
	~CMyData()
	{

	}
	int a;
	string str;
	float c;

	int GetA()
	{
		return a;
	}

	string GetStr()
	{
		return str;
	}

	float GetC()
	{
		return c;
	}
	void setmv()
	{
		m_v.push_back("weijl");
		m_v.push_back("shenzhen");
		m_v.push_back("nanning");
		m_v.push_back("C++ Program");
	}
	
public:
	typedef vector<string> vs;
	typedef vector<string>::iterator It;
	
	vs m_v;
};

int main() {

	cout << "!!!Hello World!!!" << endl; // prints !!!Hello World!!!

	CMyData data;
	cout << data.a << endl << data.str << endl << data.c << endl;

	data.setmv();
	CMyData::vs v = data.m_v;
	CMyData::It it = v.begin();
	while( it != v.end())
	{
		string  s = *it;
		cout << s << endl;

		it++;
	}

	return 0;
}

在gdb中，如果要打印C++ STL容器的内容，缺省的显示结果可读性很差：

gdb 7.0之后，可以使用gcc提供的python脚本，来改善显示结果：

某些发行版(Fedora 11+)，不需要额外的设置工作。可在gdb命令行下验证（若没有显示，可按下文的方法进行设置）。

    (gdb) info pretty-printer

方法：
1.用svn下载出一个Python工具。
svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk/libstdc++-v3/python
完成后会在当前目录下得到一个名为python的目录 。
然后你可以将其移动到合适的地方，，比如移动到~/lib/gdb_printers/目录下。
2.打开文件~/.gitinit文件。 若没有，则创建。
输入

 
 

  
  

   
   

    
    [plain] 
    
    view plain
    
     copy
    
    

    
    
   
   
  
  
  
  
python  
import sys  
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/yourname/lib/gdb_printers/python')  
from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers  
register_libstdcxx_printers (None)  
end  
 
 

文件~/.gdbinit的路径需要匹配python模块安装的路径，即~/lib/gdb_printers/python，我的是/home/weijl/lib/gdb_printers/python

以上就完成了，现在来看gdb的调试结果：

weijl@ubuntu:/home/share/work/src$ gdb ./hello
