debugging stl containers using mingw, issue with python script

Question

edit: ok, i wont give up.

i tried to set this up in codeblocks, but that doesnt work well either:

Starting debugger: C:\\MinGW\\bin\\gdb-python27.exe -nx         


        

Answer 1

MinGW GDB 7.5.1 uses Python Scripts from normal GDB 7.6. Therefore the Scripts fail.

After i copied the syscalls and python folders out of

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/gdb-7.5.1.tar.gz

and tried everything again, it miraculously worked.

Starting debugger: C:\MinGW\bin\gdb-python27.exe -nx -fullname  -quiet 
done
Setting breakpoints
Attaching to program with pid: 7428
Debugger name and version: GNU gdb (GDB) 7.5
Attaching to process 7428

$2 = "'ces:getEntitiesWithComponent(\"position\")'"

So, "nice job" to the person who put the gdb 7.6 python scripts into the MinGW GDB 7.5.1 package. NOT.
