GDB pretty printers for Qt5

c++, gdb, python, qt, qt5

Solution

The pretty printers listed on https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/Debugging_with_GDB are only partially compatible with Qt 5. Some types (such a QByteArray) are not handled correctly.

Alex Merry has worked on Qt 5 pretty printers and tried to push these into the Qt5 Base packages (unfortunately it did not made it). For convenience, I have made his printers available at https://github.com/Lekensteyn/qt5printers

Problem

Where I can find gdb pretty printers for qt5? I could find only for qt4 on kde developer site. Maybe somebody knows whether pretty printers for new version of Qt exist and where I can find them. I know that it's possible to use latest version of QtCreator, but I need just plain python scripts for GDB.
