KDevelop4 Debugging {...} cannot be unfolded

Question

I am debugging with KDevelop4 which is not showing Types always in its variables window and also Its showing {...} instead of unfolding the data. Is there any way to unfold ? and see types of all variables ?

KDevelop supports gdb pretty printers for prettier showing variable contents. If matrix is your own class you can write a pretty printer yourself. If you use some library you might find pretty printers for it - or write one yourself too.

Note that gdb pretty printers also work when debugging gdb cli.

forget about matrix. its just an `std::map` and `_connection` is just an `std::vector` and I don't need pretty printer. It would be enough to see the unpretty output. but `{...}` means no output at all – Neel Basu Oct 14 '12 at 15:49
std::map should be supported. Please create a bugreport on bugs.kde.org so we can track down this issue. Enable gdb debug area in kdebugdialog and post the console output in your report. – Niko Sams Oct 15 '12 at 10:41

I just enabled the pretty printers in gdb and now also run into this problem. You can fix this by disabling the pretty printer. Check /etc/gdb/gdbinit/ and ~/.gdbinit. Then you can expand _matrix to see the std::map implementation variables. Though I doubt they would be very useful.
