gdb stdlib pretty print

[Sunny Sachanandani]

Hi,

I have noticed that since some time gdb pretty printing for c++ stdlib types is broken on my linux workstation. When I start gdb, I get these messages:

Unable to determine compiler version.

Skipping loading of libstdc++ pretty-printers for now.

I'm building using clang on goma and my .gdbinit is minimal - it only loads the pretty printers for chromium.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Thanks!

I see that as well.

Turns out this is a bug with gdb configuration on goobuntu (and maybe even an upstream bug with ubuntu/debian). For now a quick workaround is to add these lines to your .gdbinit (assuming ubuntu):

python

import sys

sys.path.insert(0, "/usr/share/gdb/python/")

from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers

register_libstdcxx_printers(None)
