GDB pretty printers for STLport
===============================

This python module provides GDB pretty printers for the containers from
STLport. It is based on a similar python module for libstdc++ [1]. It has
been tested with GDB 7.0.1/7.2 and STLport 4.6.2/5.0.3/5.1.7/5.2.1.

[1] svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk/libstdc++-v3/python


Installation
------------

To install the python module copy the "stlport" subdirectory to some place.
To enable the pretty printer add the following code to $HOME/.gdbinit:

    python
    import sys

    sys.path.insert (0, '/path/to/dir/containing/the/stlport/dir')
    import stlport.printers
    stlport.printers.register_stlport_printers (None)

    # see the python module for a description of these options
    # stlport.printers.stlport_version           = 5.2
    # stlport.printers.print_vector_with_indices = False
    
    end


Testing
-------

To test the pretty printers, go to the test directory and set up the STLport
directory in the Makefile. Calling make should then compile two executables
(with and without -D_STLP_DEBUG) and invoke GDB with the supplied script. If
the pretty printers work the variables from test.cpp should be displayed in a
convenient way.

Note that GDB prefers python modules from $HOME/.gdbinit over those from
.gdbinit in the current working directory. If you adapted $HOME/.gdbinit as
described above the location there will be used. Otherwise, test/.gdbinit will
load stlport/printers.py.
