GDB格式化输出显示结构体

GDB格式化输出显示结构体

GDB输出显示结构体，使用print命令，如下：

(gdb) p *struct_ptr
$326 = {elem = {index = 178, len = 21845, ndescs = 1, out_num = 2, in_num = 1, in_addr = 0x55555cf38d00, 
    out_addr = 0x55555cf38d08, in_sg = 0x55555cf38d18, out_sg = 0x55555cf38d28}, vq = 0x7fffec3b8010, 
  cmd_hdr = {type = 519, flags = 1, fence_id = 746767, ctx_id = 3, padding = 0}, error = 0, 
  finished = false, next = {tqe_next = 0x55555cf38e10, tqe_circ = {tql_next = 0x55555cf38e10, 
      tql_prev = 0x555557439da8}}}

这样显示出来的结构体，很难在调试的时候一眼捕捉到有用的信息，往往需要仔细找找。

GDB提供了格式化输出显示结构体的选项，set print pretty off， 这个选项的默认是关闭的。打开该选项再次打印结构体，结果如下：

(gdb) set print pretty on
(gdb) p *cmd
$327 = {
  elem = {
    index = 178, 
    len = 21845, 
    ndescs = 1, 
    out_num = 2, 
    in_num = 1, 
    in_addr = 0x55555cf38d00, 
    out_addr = 0x55555cf38d08, 
    in_sg = 0x55555cf38d18, 
    out_sg = 0x55555cf38d28
  }, 
  vq = 0x7fffec3b8010, 
  cmd_hdr = {
    type = 519, 
    flags = 1, 
    fence_id = 746767, 
    ctx_id = 3, 
    padding = 0
  }, 
  error = 0, 
  finished = false, 
  next = {
    tqe_next = 0x55555cf38e10, 
    tqe_circ = {
      tql_next = 0x55555cf38e10, 
      tql_prev = 0x555557439da8
    }
  }
}

以这样的方式显示结构体会友好很多。调试起来结构体的成员一目了然。
